The method behind the proof gate is test-first, originating from TDD's red-green-refactor cycle, and is used to verify that the failure of a new test proves it actually covers the behavior to be fixed rather than being a test that always passes vacuously.

VerifiedThe core TDD cycle is: first write a failing test case (Red) → write the minimum amount of code to make the test pass (Green) → refactor the code (Refactor).74% similarUnverifiedA failing (red) test serves as proof of a bug's existence; when the test turns from red to green, it indicates the issue is resolved and can serve as a regression test to guard the functionality.74% similarUnverifiedThe core principle of falsifiable closed-loop testing is: success on the sender's side does not count; new evidence must be generated by the target end, and the agent must be able to read back that evidence.73% similarUnverifiedThe check in loop engineering should be to verify results rather than to regenerate them; having the model regenerate once more often yields only another version of the answer.72% similarVerifiedRegression testing refers to re-running existing test cases after modifying code to ensure that the new changes have not introduced new bugs or broken existing functionality.72% similar
