    - Limitations / unknowns:
    - It removes the human stepping between tasks, not the verification: every task is still test-driven and committed individually, and it pauses on failures or risky steps.
    - Next-step validation checks:
    - Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
    - Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
