Refuse a verdict a probe did not earn. Runs a check where the fault IS present and where it is NOT, and blocks the answer when both arms print the same thing, because a check that cannot disagree with you has measured nothing. Also catches the zero-sample sweep that reads as "clean" and the swallowed error that reads as success. Use before reporting any status, audit, sweep, or "nothing found" result, and whenever a check surprises you by passing.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# paired-probe **A check that prints the same thing whether or not the fault is present has measured nothing.** It still returns an answer, that answer looks like evidence, and it gets acted on. This skill makes the blindness fail loudly instead. ## When to reach for it Before reporting any of these, because all of them are verdicts: - "nothing found", "all clean", "no failures", "safe to delete" - a sweep, audit, or status roll-up over N items - a security or CI gate that just went green - any check that passed when you expected it to fail And immediately whenever a result *surprises* you by passing. Surprise is the cheapest available signal that the instrument, not the world, is what changed. ## The three gates | Gate | Question | Failure it catches | |---|---|---| | **Differential** | What does this print when the fault is ABSENT? | A probe that answers identically either way | | **Non-empty** | How many items did it actually examine? | A sweep that measured zero and reported clean | | **Exit-aware** | Did the probe itself run? | A swallowed error printing success | Could-not-observe is a **third outcome**, never folded into either verdict. ## Usage ```bash …

How to install
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/paired-probe@sha256:a0bd71d7c88dbd1fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
