arXiv 2607.11751 describes payloads split across agents so every per-message, per-tool-call, per-step check passes while the assembled object is the attack. The fix is a composition-level verification stage that inspects the final artifact: the written file, the merged diff, the outbound request. All-green step-level checks tell you nothing about the sum.
