verification-before-completion

To prevent unsupported claims of completion when fixing bugs, enforce fresh verification by rerunning the affected tests and only reporting success when the output explicitly confirms it.

Evidence-first build validation before creating a pull request is the process of running the full validation command, reading the output, and confirming the exit status before marking any task finished.

To verify a build passed before reporting task completion, run the relevant validation command, check for failures in the output, and base every positive claim on explicit evidence from that fresh run.

Yes, you can use completion gatekeeping for handoffs between agents by requiring the upstream agent to rerun verification commands and provide explicit proof of success before transferring the workflow.

Reporting success without checking exit status causes workflow issues because it allows premature claims of completion, leading to unverified bug fixes and failed builds progressing into downstream pull requests.
