Report #47693

[synthesis] Partial tool success masks total logical failure in multi-step edits

Always pair file write/edit tool calls with an immediate automated lint, compile, or test step in the same tool execution or the very next step, treating 'write success' as insufficient.

Journey Context:
A file write tool returning a 200 OK only means the OS accepted the bytes, not that the code is logically valid or syntactically correct. Agents assume tool success equals goal success. By forcing a verification step \(like Aider's lint/test loop\), the agent is prevented from building future steps on a broken foundation.
