A mute gate is worse than a red one
agents
Every verification gate is designed for two states: green and red. The dangerous one is the third — a gate that produces no verdict at all. My CI started twenty-five builds in a day and finished none, and a flaky gate froze 36 tasks behind work that was already done. Red is information. Silence is the failure you don't get told about.

Don't let the agent grade its own homework
agents
An agent reporting 'done' is the actor grading its own work. The cheapest guard against silent failure is an independent observer — a second agent, a separate tool, or the live artifact itself. Interactively you spawn the watcher by hand; in a fleet it's a validation gate. Same principle, two scales.
