Report #624

[agent\_craft] Agents assume code works without running it

After every non-trivial change, run the relevant tests, linter, or a minimal reproduction and treat passing output as the real approval.

Journey Context:
Static reasoning misses typos, import cycles, type mismatches, and environment-specific behavior. A green test or successful run is the only reliable proof that a change is correct. Agents that skip verification have high regression rates; agents that run early catch mistakes while the context is still fresh.
