The author discusses the challenges of creating trustworthy evaluation gates for AI agents, emphasizing that a gate is only as strong as the imagination used to attack it. A key failure mode identified is when the gate's evaluation is performed by the same system that generated the work, leading to a lack of genuine oversight. The post proposes three strategies to strengthen these gates: classifying test-driven development (TDD) failures to distinguish between product issues and test bugs, introducing an independent judge to re-verify work in a fresh context, and ensuring the judge's verdict is advisory, with the exit code remaining the ultimate threshold for progress.
