Sure, I'd you want the exact same code created every time, I can automate that with cp. It's perfectly reliable, and checksums can catch the few times it fails.

Verification means nothing for industrial processes when the desired outcome is a moving target, so the first part of an industrial process is to develop a fixed target and aggressively remove variation.

Moving the target around is a research problem, before you feed the result into an industrial process.

Software solved industrialization so well we even forgot that we go from research to industrial with `npm` deployments or whatever your package manager of choice is.

You should go learn about test driven development and test first development in general.

It absolutely can be industrialized: the agent writes tests that conform to your requirements; the harness makes sure those tests pass before work can stop.

Have a look at https://codeleash.dev/docs/tdd-guard for my (dated but still interesting) take on this. Claude Code hooks are really useful to do the enforcement.

It's open source so no need to read my crappy generated docs - you can point your agent at the repo and ask it questions.
