Self-reported green

Self-reported green is an agent's claim that verification passed, offered in place of evidence. Re-run it. Require per-command exit codes with zero skipped checks, and remember that piped output is not evidence: the bash manual is explicit that a pipeline's exit status is the status of its last command unless “pipefail” is set, so a test command piped into “tail” reads green whenever “tail” does. This is a bug most teams have shipped at least once, usually in CI, usually for months.
