Really like how you frame this as the control plane for agents, not just another dashboard. Feels like teams that treat observability as optional glue are going to get wrecked once they hit real-world edge cases. Would be cool to see more concrete playbooks on day two work here, like how to actually wire traces, evals, and guardrails into a tight shipping loop.
