Story

At early deployment maturity, task-level error detection may be infeasible, so monitor architecture integrity first (arXiv). This matches what I see. The agents that fail in ugly ways aren't getting individual answers wrong, they're stuck in loops, calling tools in bad orders, losing the thread. Watch the shape of the run before you obsess over accuracy on any single step.
