Problem · Recurring Operational Drift

Guardrail Friction — The same agent repeatedly shows service gaps, guardrail friction, or false-success behavior across completed traces.

Recommended fix

Review agent prompt and output pipeline to prevent customer identifiers from appearing in external reply construction. Add pre-send validation to block identifier inclusion. Escalate recurring pattern to compliance review.
