Verifying AI agents: write the falsifier first

Programmers are discussing why AI coding agents fail. The argument gaining traction is that most agent failures are not the agent lying, but verification being handled by the same process that did the work. The proposed fix is to write the falsifier before the task: a checklist for checking agent output, so review is independent rather than self-confirming.
Why now: Developers are actively grappling with how to verify work produced by AI coding agents.
