Why This Works

1. Reduced hallucinations: the Agentic Handshake forces discovery and spec generation before coding.
2. Context discipline: phase-by-phase focus reduces noise and prevents scope jumping.
3. Accountability: defects map to a specific artifact (INT, DIS, SPC, PLN) and gate.

The Secret to Unattended Reliability

Update the Intent after the Context Burst and before build execution. This acts as a built-in Red Team against the original idea by pressure-testing assumptions against real code constraints.

• Hallucinations drop because planning is grounded in discovered system reality.
• Safety rises because the Builder follows a refined spec instead of stale assumptions.
• Reliability improves because each handoff has explicit artifacts and phase gates.
