Verify

The Iron Law

NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE

If the proving command did not run just now, in this session, the claim is unavailable to you. An unverified claim isn't optimism — it's a false statement.

The Gate Function

Before any status claim or expression of satisfaction:

1. IDENTIFY — which command proves this exact claim? (Commands come from docs/agents/project.md. Missing? Say so, suggest setup-repo, and identify the command manually.)
2. RUN — execute it fresh and complete. No cached results, no partial scopes, no "it passed earlier".
3. READ — the full output: exit code, failure count, warnings. Not the last line.
4. CONFIRM — does the output actually support the claim? If no: report the real status, with the evidence. If yes: make the claim, with the evidence.
