Agent quality depends on closing the loop between execution and verification

In one minute

Routing decisions need traces, outcome evaluations, and fallback policies, while coding-agent cost is best measured by verified completed tasks. Other notes report that implementation can be outweighed by testing, review, and security validation, and that agent comparisons become replayable when tasks, runtimes, and scoring are separated.

Builders should treat verification and outcome measurement as core runtime infrastructure, not a final check.
