The governance didn't. Agents don't fail the way software does. They're non-deterministic, stateful, and dependent on models and tools that shift without warning, so the old playbook of unit tests, stack traces, and exception-based monitoring doesn't transfer. This report hands you the operating model that replaces it: evaluation suites, trace analysis, and failure clustering, based on tested maturity models, not trial and error.
