What to expect
A second agent checks every run against the workflow's checklist before the result reaches you.
- Small slips are fixed first
- A result close to passing is corrected before the check.
- A miss goes back
- A result missing a check goes back with the exact gap and is redone.
- Three tries, then you
- If the result still falls short after three tries, you get the work and what is missing.
