Agent demos stop right before the part that matters: the human review step

A Reddit post highlights a blind spot in agent demos: they typically end at the model's output, while the step after — a human reading the result and deciding whether it's safe to ship — stays off camera. The author suspects that's where much of the real effort and cost lives, and asks practitioners running agents on real work whether they review every output, sample-check, or loosen up once trust is earned — and what triggered the change.
