Everyone's calling agent systems a "software factory" now. But a factory only works because its QC is mechanical and non-negotiable: a CNC mill holds tolerance or scraps the run. Most agent loops skip that, letting the agent grade its own output. Volume without correctness. That is why we built zeroshot: https://github.com/the-open-engine/zeroshot Now at 1500 stars, would love to get more feedbac
