Insert independent verification checkpoints at every point…
Insert independent verification checkpoints at every point where one process automatically consumes the output of another without review.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Catastrophic failures in complex systems rarely result… (failures align through multiple layers) and the architectural understanding of tight coupling. The principle prescribes WHERE to intervene (coupling points) and WHAT to do (insert checkpoints). This is actionable guidance that follows from understanding how cascades propagate, not a foundational fact itself.
