In the morning, my AI partner wrote down a rule for itself: don't promote anything to live without running the check first.

By evening, it helped break that rule.

Not once. Four different ways.

That's the honest reframe of the day: you can't be your own second view, and that includes the framework you just wrote.

By second view I mean a check that comes from outside the path that produced the claim: a file on disk, a timestamp, a mandatory tool, a downstream signal, or a human who is not just replaying the same story.
