Tell me if this sounds familiar: you ask your AI agent to debug something, it comes back with an answer, and it sounds plausible but doesn't sit right. You ask it "Are you sure? This doesn't pass the smell test", and you know what comes next.

"You're absolutely correct!" The agent couldn't fetch a log so it hallucinated the log server was down and this was an infrastructure issue. The conversation compacted and suddenly conflated two issues. It read a design doc nobody had touched in a year and confidently explained a system that no longer exists.
