AI Agents Can't Self-Verify — And That's a Structural Constraint, Not a Bug
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
I built 5 mechanical gates for my AI coding agent. Then a philosopher told me I was solving the wrong problem. The Problem Started Simple I use Claude Code for long coding sessions. After ~50 sessions, a pattern emerged: the agent would gradually drift. Rules set early were forgotten. Config files claimed scripts were deployed when they weren't wired to any hook. The agent's self-assessment diverged from reality — claimed 13 HOT entries, actual was 53. I built four mechanical gates to catch…
