Fewer moving goal posts for more reliable commits

The moment I understood what we had built was not during a benchmark or eval. It was during a commit that took three tries.

I asked an agent to make a change. It finished, staged the work, and tried to commit. The pre-commit hook ran a scan and blocked it on a reliability finding. The agent read the finding, understood it, and fixed it. It tried to commit again, and this time its own fix had introduced a second blocking finding. It read that one, fixed it too, and ran again. This time it passed, and committed the whole change set.
