An AI agent had a 41-check quality checklist but kept making cosmetic edits instead of addressing failures. The fix was application-layer forcing.
Our verification gate let zero-change PRs pass because there were no files to check. The quality checks we built were never enforced.
100% line coverage means every line was executed, not that meaningful scenarios were tested. Quality checks fill the gap after 100%.
