---# Verification Gate
## The Iron Law
<HARD-GATE>
NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE
</HARD-GATE>
If you haven't run the verification command in this turn, you cannot claim it passes.
## The Gate
Before claiming any success or expressing satisfaction:
1. **IDENTIFY** — What command proves this claim?
2. **RUN** — Execute the full command (fresh, not cached)
3. **READ** — Full output, check exit code, count failures
4. **VERIFY** — Does output actually confirm the claim?
5. **ONLY THEN** — State the claim WITH evidence
