- In short
- Every configuration mechanism ages: standing instructions, knowledge, Skills, and Memory all drift toward stale over time. Stale configuration degrades output quietly, with no error or warning to alert the user. A well-configured environment must therefore be built deliberately and reviewed on a cadence, not just set up once, because configuration is leverage only if it is maintained; unmaintained configuration eventually works against the user.
