A practical question about agent trust: should the system that made a change be allowed to verify its own success?

I’m working on a software-agent system and keep coming back to one design question:

**Should the model/provider that performs an action be allowed to be the final authority on whether the action succeeded?**

My current answer is “no,” at least for meaningful software work.

I’m building Flows around a chain where execution, checks, repair, and evidence are separate concepts. Oort is the canonical library/provider layer underneath it.

In agentic systems generally, what should count as independent verification rather than provider self-reporting?
