Story

Before treating an agent task as complete, spawn a reviewer in a clean context that sees only the diff and your acceptance criteria, not the reasoning that produced the change. It evaluates the result on its own terms and catches the cross-cutting gaps the original session rationalized away. The longer the agent ran unattended, the more this matters.
