[maintainer] Should AGENTS.md carry the rule that a "verified" claim is only as good as the check that re-verifies it every commit? — five measured instances this round #7833
Description
Filed by the PM seat out of PR objectui#7831 (card objectui#7505). ⛔ The domain:ui dispatch lane cannot do this: AGENTS.md is a governed surface, and an agent seat neither edits nor approves one. This card exists so the rule is not lost.
The rule, as the #7505 seat wrote it
A claim that something was verified is only as good as the check that re-verifies it on every commit.
It is already recorded verbatim in scripts/check-doc-snippet-types.mjs's header and pinned by a test so it cannot drift out of that source. What is proposed here is only whether it also belongs in AGENTS.md, where it would reach authors who are not editing that gate.
Why it generalises — four same-shaped instances measured this round
| instance | the claim | how it went false |
|---|---|---|
| objectui#7505 (the origin) | a declared doc fragment marked "checked against the shipped dist/index.d.ts" |
the gate structurally cannot compile a declared fragment, so nothing ever re-checked it. ⭐ It was false twice: once when PR objectui#7503 widened the return type, and again — measured at the moment the seat read it — because the excerpt was missing systemCapabilities?: string[] (ADR-0066) |
| objectui#7528 | "one total over 52 chunks" in present-tense prose | three different counts in play: prose 52, the file's own BASELINE.chunks 48, the gate's live output 50 |
| objectui#7362 | a fix list enumerated by name | entries expired as they were fixed; nothing re-derived the list |
| objectui#7433 | a population count | rotted three times |
⭐ And a fifth, from objectui#7448 (PR objectui#7827), which is the sharpest illustration of why "spot-check it" does not save you:
184 pages (144 .mdx + 40 .md)was not merely stale —content/docs/**holds exactly 184 files split exactly 144 + 40 today. It is a precisely correct count of the population the gate stopped having. A reader who spot-checked it would have confirmed it and still been wrong about the scan surface.
⇒ The failure mode is not "someone wrote a wrong number". It is a true-when-written assertion that no instrument re-derives, which is indistinguishable from a live one at every later reading.
What is being asked
A maintainer decision on whether AGENTS.md should carry this rule, and in what words. AGENTS.md under any framing.
⭐ If it does land, the shape the repo has already converged on independently, three times, is worth naming in it: a pointer to the instrument's own output, never a copy of the instrument's answer (check-doc-snippet-types.mjs's UNGATED_DOCS header was itself repaired into "a pointer to the list now rather than a copy of its length"; PR objectui#7827 applied the same shape to two workflow headers and added a pin that refuses a numeral qualifying a document-population noun — ⭐ its ablation injected a completely correct literal and the pin still refused it, proving the pin governs the class of writing, not "wrong numbers").

Default-tier review of the wording —
domain:devx @ objectuidev seat, on branchclaude/issue-7833-agents-verified-claim-ruleDraft PR objectui#9079 is open. The contract-review tier this card's thread originally asked for was lifted at the tier notice above, on a maintainer ruling; this is the review of record for the wording, at the default tier, and it is deliberately posted on the card rather than only on the PR so the ruling and its review sit together.
⛔ This is a review, not an approval: the PR is a governed surface, it stays in draft, and a human merge is its approval record. No approving review has been or will be left on it by this seat.
What was reviewed
The one bullet landed as commandment
#9at the end of section 5, plus a changeset with empty frontmatter. Nothing else is in the diff.Findings
1. The rule does not commit the defect it names — checked, not assumed. The text carries no count of anything. The evidence is reached by address (
objectui#7833,objectui#7800), and a card number does not rot the way a measurement does. Run against the narrow pattern the objectui#7448 twins pin — a numeral qualifying a document-population noun, with issue references excluded by construction — the bullet has no numeral at all outside those references. This mattered more than it looks: a rule stated as 「五个实例」 would have been an instance of itself, landing in the most-read file in the repo.2. It is a principle plus a shape, ⛔ not a mechanism and ⛔ not a checklist. The ruled core — point at the instrument, never write its answer — is stated once and then given exactly two worked forms ("the count this gate prints", not the count; "the list this script enumerates", not the list). It prescribes no procedure, adds no gate, and asks nothing of CI. That is the shape the ruling asked for and it is the part the maintainer finalises.
3. The clause carrying the most weight is the third one, and it is the one worth reading twice. 「A figure that is still correct is the dangerous case, not the safe one」 — that is objectui#7448's lesson generalised: the failure mode is not a wrong number, it is a true-when-written assertion nothing re-derives, and spot-checking confirms it. Without that clause a reader concludes "so keep the numbers accurate", which is the response that has already failed here several times over.
4. The self-reference is load-bearing, not decoration. 「This file is not exempt」 is a measured claim, verified on this tree before it was written: objectui#7800's own defect was a sentence in this file asserting 「和 CI 同一个结论」, true when written about objectui#3240's change, re-derived by nothing, false while still reading as live. Its repair is in
mainand in this branch's base. ⭐ And the commit this branch is cut from, objectui#9076, is a further instance that landed after the card was filed — a gate header restating a ceiling and a baseline as literals after an authorised re-baseline moved both constants, with nothing going red 「because nothing fails on a number written in a comment」. The card measured this; the repo kept producing it while the card sat.5. Placement was decided before language, ⛔ not after. Section 5's commandment⚠️ Section 9 is a genuinely defensible alternative and the strongest counter-argument to what landed: it already carries the read-time half of this same principle (「没跑对照的空结果不是一次读数」, 「每次发布后回读」), and the objectui#7800 repair landed its corrective rule there. The case for section 5 is that this is the write-time half and must reach contributors who never open those subsections. That trade is the maintainer's to settle and it is option B in the 维护者速读 on the PR.
#-1scopes English-only to the codebase and enumerates 「code comments, docs」 — which is precisely the artefact set this rule governs — and grants Chinese only to this file's operational sections. Section 5 is not one of those, so a rule placed there is English and a rule placed in section 9 is Chinese.Residual risk this review does not clear
#9is a reader. Widening that pin overAGENTS.mdwas ⛔ not done here and ⛔ is not in this card's scope: it would be a new gate on the most-edited governed file in the repo, weighed on its own card, not smuggled in under a wording change.Verdict: the wording is sound and the diff is minimal; the open question is placement, and it is a question for the maintainer, not a defect.
