That's a really sharp parallel. "Did behavior change" is exactly the question in both cases, and the surface-level representation lies to you in both. We normalize ASTs before hashing so reformatting or renaming a local variable doesn't register as a change. Curious what normalization looks like on the agent observability side, feels like a harder problem when the output is natural language instead of code.
