verification

How a claim gets checked by something that is not the thing that made it. Gates, acceptance, and the difference between an agent saying the work is done and the work being done.

• ConceptEvals, gates and acceptance

  A gate is a command and an exit code. Everything else is an opinion with a schedule.

• ConceptIndependent verification

  The thing that checks cannot be the thing that did it, and a prompt is not a separation.

• ArticleNever believe the agent

  Verification has to be a separate program with real exit codes. The argument for that is not in the gates that passed. It is in the ones that did not, and in the few that never ran at all.

• Run reportThe engine run

  Every checkpoint closed, and this is still the reddest run in the corpus. It holds nearly a third of every gate failure measured here, every unusual failure exit code in the whole store, and the only gates that never ran at all. That combination is not a contradiction. It is what a real release gate looks like.
