UnverifiedThe failure of conventional probes reflects more the limitations of the reading method than the absence of internal information in the model.76% similarUnverifiedWriting "ignore untrusted content" only in the system prompt has limited effect, because the model still has to read the untrusted text word by word to judge whether it is trustworthy.75% similarUnverifiedAn exception being stringified and stuffed into the model context is a silent failure mode: the error becomes a line of text, the model reads and reasons about it as data, the run keeps going, and monitoring reads it as healthy.72% similarUnverifiedA read returning an empty value is insufficient to determine that an external write operation failed, because the read itself may be subject to delay or inconsistency.72% similar
