[research] Agent quality degrades after deploy without raising errors

Run online evaluators on a sample of production traces, alert on score-distribution drift, and feed low-scoring traces back into the offline regression dataset. Pair pre-deploy offline evals with post-deploy online scoring.

Journey Context:
Offline evals only cover known cases; production traffic surfaces unknown failures. Continuous scoring turns user-facing quality into a metric. The best teams close the loop: production traces become test cases, low scores trigger alerts, and the next model or prompt change is re-validated against the expanded suite.
