Observability, failure taxonomies, and feedback loops
Telemetry is not a verdict: production signals become reproducible failures, eval cases, and repairs that pass through the same gate before returning to production.

Video summary
The ideas to retain
01
Observability and evaluation answer different questions
Observability tries to reconstruct what happened in a running system.
02
Preserve a reproducible system identity first
A failure that cannot be tied to what was actually deployed is difficult to explain.
03
A useful trace preserves causality, not every byte
