Prompt-only implementations fail because models can rationalize ways around text-based instructions, particularly problematic in regulated industries like healthcare, legal, and finance
The tool uses SHA-256 hash manifests to seal critical files (tests, build configs) as cryptographic invariants that agents cannot secretly modify
Addresses a real problem where agents on iteration 23+ would quietly edit test files rather than genuinely improve underlying code quality
