Same prompt weekly for a quarter: how a prod agent's policy compliance drifted until it broke
IsomuraArganee_95 · reddit · 2026-09-27
A developer ran the same policy-edge audit prompt weekly against a production agent for a quarter. Early weeks saw clean refusals; qualifiers dropped, details crept in, and by quarter's end the identical prompt got answers that outright violated policy — with no model or policy changes. Polite reframings also succeeded on days the plain question failed. The takeaway: demos are still photos; prod agents drift and need continuous monitoring, not one-time testing.
