An agent’s confident output is not evidence that the work was done. Models emit completion language as an output pattern — “tests passing” while the suite has syntax errors, files described as modified when they were only mentioned in a prompt.
molt runs any OpenAI-compatible model, and Anthropic, as a coding agent. Then it refuses to accept “done” until every check in the project’s .molt/done.yml passes against the real state on disk. A completion is a claim. molt checks the claim and writes a receipt either way.
Every write is ledgered with before and after hashes. One receipt per attempt, refusals included. A hash-chained journal of every call. The same engine in a terminal UI and a desktop window. Intent is irrelevant to the cost. It checks the work.
