Evidence requirement enforcement ensuring all claims are backed by logs, test results, or exit codes. Zero = success, non-zero = failure. No guessing allowed.

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

## Rules

- Never claim "should work" without evidence
- Never claim success without exit code 0
- Never claim a bug is fixed without reproduction failure
- Always capture and report exit codes
- Always run the full test suite, not just targeted tests
- Use timeout guards (`timeout 60s`) to prevent hanging

## When to Use

- Before completing any BUILD workflow step
- Before claiming a DEBUG fix is verified
- Before approving a REVIEW result
- Before marking any task as done

## Agents Used

- `integration-verifier` (primary consumer)
- `component-builder` (TDD evidence)
- `bug-investigator` (fix evidence)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/verification-before-completion@sha256:96b1c95e6f07aeaf

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260601.da7723a, 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.
