When your agent says it's done, go and look

After eight months and thousands of Hermes Agent sessions, the poster says his number one lesson is simple: the agent often says a job is finished when it isn't. His rule is to always go and look at the real result yourself, whether that's a file, a sent message or a changed setting. In earlier posts in the same series he adds two related habits: use plain, repeatable checks to confirm work instead of trusting the agent's summary, and never let it change everything at once. Back up first and try the change on one item.
