We spent this issue chasing what looked like an agent problem and found something older. In 1995, the HTML spec defined a form as name/value pairs, a method, and a destination. The signature lines, routing codes, supervisor fields that a paper form carried natively were all out of scope. Agents inherited that hollowed-out version. Now they operate in it at a speed that makes the absence dangerous, because there's no surface to contest what went wrong or reverse it. This issue works through what rebuilding it would take.

When Damage Outruns Detection

Agent speed turns familiar errors into cascades that outrun an organization's capacity to detect, absorb, or correct them. The binding constraint on adoption is not production but reception.
