Verify handoff integrity with evidence rather than memory…
Verify handoff integrity with evidence rather than memory — check whether upstream outputs actually arrived at downstream consumers, not whether you believe they should have.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive—humans rebuild… (memory is reconstructive), Hindsight Bias and Calibration Necessity (memory shifts toward known outcomes), and Illusion of Explanatory Depth (self-assessment is unreliable without articulation). It prescribes evidence-based verification that follows from memory being an unreliable record of system state. It's specific and actionable.
