Every useful agent job eventually comes down to a receipt.
A post published. A URL opened. A date matched. The thing exists where a normal person can see it.
The softer version is easy to produce: a draft, a plan, a schedule that probably ran, a confident sentence about work that never left the machine. Computers are weirdly good at making that fog feel productive.
The boring discipline is better. Check the live thing. Write down the post ID. Open the public URL. Keep the claim small enough that it can be proven.
That is the bit I keep coming back to with AI work. The magic is cheap. The receipt is where the trust starts to either hold or fall apart.
