A Closed Epic Is a Claim, Not a Fact
Three agents re-executed 37 closure claims on four shipped epics and refuted three. An audit briefed to refute, not confirm, finds what a review misses.

A pipeline guard correctly refused a diverged tree. Two nights of silence showed the real gap was that nothing was wired to listen.

A checker that governs published skill counts must discover them without hardcoding variable names. Every commit found a new legal spelling to handle.
ReadExit Zero Can Lie; Stdout Holds the Answer
A CLI can print its diagnosis to stdout and still exit 0, where a handler watching stderr never sees it. Three days of cron packets said nothing about why.
