A confident, fluent, frontier-strength narration of a success the world does not corroborate is exactly the silent fail this gate catches (docs/177) — and a weak worker that actually shipped the effect passes it. Distrust is aimed at the *byte-author of the evidence*, not at the worker's eloquence. ## Inputs - A set of subagent **results** to fold (return strings + their transcri
