Verification should be treated as a distinct responsibility rather than a final checkbox.
Engineering provenance
This knowledge is connected to project records in the Lab, keeping ideas traceable to engineering work.
A local-first, model-agnostic autonomous engineering runtime built around durable runs, trusted execution and independent verification.
A useful system separates doing from proving.
Execution creates an artifact. Verification asks whether the artifact satisfies the required conditions.
When both responsibilities are collapsed into one component, a confident but incorrect result can look complete.
The boundary does not require a sophisticated verifier. It requires a different responsibility, a defined contract, and evidence that can be inspected later.
This is one of the strongest recurring patterns across the Lab.

Why autonomous engineering systems need evidence and independent verification before they need more model capability.
