Outcome Verification: Expected vs Actual
Verification compares the actual outcome of a tool against the expected outcome and records the verdict.
What is compared?
The actual result of the execution against the expected result defined for the tool or flow.
What does a failed verdict do?
It is recorded, the tool is not trusted, and the strategy weights are updated accordingly.
Is verification part of generation?
No. It is a separate step. Generating without verifying is a silent failure. The verdict must be recorded.
What produces the reward?
The comparison between the actual outcome and the expected outcome in verification. The reward updates the strategy weights.
What happens without verification?
Without verification, the outcome is assumed. The system cannot learn from its actions or adapt its behavior.
