Enforce verification commands before claiming work completion, fixes, or test passes—no success assertions without fresh evidence. Requires running the actual verification command (not assumptions or partial checks) and confirming output before making any completion or correctness claims Applies to all success-related statements: test passes, builds succeeding, bugs fixed, requirements met, regressions verified, and agent task completion Blocks common shortcuts like trusting agent reports, relying on linter passes as build proof, or using confidence/assumptions instead of actual command output Includes a five-step gate function: identify the proof command, run it fresh, read full output and exit code, verify the claim matches evidence, then state the result with evidence attached
