arXiv 2608.12440 documents dismantling a core lifetime invariant across 3,648 files: 189 modified, 31 created, 34,770 insertions, 16,422 deletions, no human reviewing the diff and no pre-existing test suite. The protocol was specification-first: 14 refinement cycles auditing the spec against the source, then implementation, then verification, 31 audit passes total, surfacing 201 defects before a human ran anything. The transferable part is the ratio, nearly half the total effort spent auditing a written spec against existing code before any edit. That's the inverse of how most agent refactors run.
