# Failure Signals Checklist

Use this checklist when reviewing a weak harness run.

- Did the agent ask, or infer incorrectly, how to start the app?
- Did it create directories or abstractions that do not match the intended
  product?
- Did it stop after making a visible UI shell without a complete workflow?
- Did it leave notes or artifacts that help a future run continue?
- Could a fresh session understand what happened in under five minutes?
