early-victory-guard
What it does
Blocks a loop from marking its task complete until the grounded checker has actually run against that task at least once, so "done" always has at least one verification step behind it.
Inputs
- A loop's proposed "done" signal for a task.
- The checker's run log for that same task.
Outputs
- Either a pass-through allowing the loop to complete, or a block that returns the loop to its work with the missing check named.
Failure mode if skipped
A loop can declare victory before anything about its output has actually been verified — the "done" signal and the checking step never had to touch.
