<span>The sub-agent reviews consistently caught things the main agent missed — tests that only asserted on mocks, missing edge cases, and even a real bug. Without the dual review loop, the agent tends to write tests that look correct but do not actually exercise real behavior.</span><br />

+<span>On top of the agent&#39;s self-reflection and the two sub-agent reviews per task, I reviewed the produced outcome at the end. I did not read through all 5k lines one by one. Instead I looked for repeating patterns across the test files and cherry-picked a few scenarios — for example one integration test from the open/close family, one from the rename/link family, and one negative test — and went through those in detail manually. That was enough to satisfy me that the workflow had produced consistent, runnable tests and that the whole pipeline (task → implement → self-review → sub-agent review → fix → second review → commit) was working as intended.</span><br />
