Report #81951

[frontier] New agent version produces different results in production causing regression in user experience without warning

Run shadow evaluation: replay production traces through new agent version offline to measure trajectory divergence before deployment

Journey Context:
A/B testing agents is risky and affects users. Shadow mode runs the candidate agent against historical traces or live traffic copies without affecting users. Measure thought process divergence \(tool choice, reasoning steps\), not just final output, to catch reasoning regressions before launch.
