Report #45791

[research] Agent success rate slowly drops over weeks without triggering alerts because LLMs silently hallucinate tool arguments or APIs drift

Implement continuous shadow evals running against a static golden trajectory dataset on every LLM provider update or agent code change, alerting on step-level tool-call argument F1 scores, not just final task success.

Journey Context:
Final-outcome evals mask intermediate failures. An agent might still reach the goal but take 3x more steps or hallucinate a parameter that happens to default correctly. By tracking tool-call argument precision/recall against a golden trajectory, you catch silent drift in tool formatting or API schema understanding before it causes a hard failure.
