Verification Before Completion

Overview

Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.

Core principle: Evidence before claims, always.

Violating the letter of this rule is violating the spirit of this rule.

The Iron Law

NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE

Use evidence bound to the exact current content and environment. A completed earlier run remains valid while its inputs and relevant context are unchanged; rerun invalidated checks rather than repeating expensive suites merely for a new message.
