The court

1. VERDICT OVERTURNED
   Sierra · RECOVERS yes → uncertain 5/5 AGENT → 4/5 AGENT filed by editorial internal audit · 2026-08-11 · decided 2026-08-11

   The evidence behind the YES was supervisors reviewing responses in flight and stepping agents back on track — oversight correcting the agent, not the agent working out a different attempt. No tool-call retry is documented either way, so rule 04 can be neither met nor refused on this record. This is the only ruling of the six that moved a score down.

2. VERDICT OVERTURNED
   Amazon Q Developer · RECOVERS no → yes 4/5 AGENT → 5/5 AGENT filed by editorial internal audit · 2026-08-11 · decided 2026-08-11

   Transformation docs: "As it makes changes, it re-builds and runs existing unit tests in your source code to iteratively fix any encountered errors." That is rule 04 met — an error, a different attempt, no human turn. The old NO conceded the loop existed.

3. VERDICT OVERTURNED
   Lovable · UNSUPERVISED no → yes 4/5 AGENT → 5/5 AGENT filed by editorial internal audit · 2026-08-11 · decided 2026-08-11

   Build mode "handles execution end to end with minimal supervision" and the docs place review after the run, not at each step. Rule 05 turns on capability, and the stop button is an interrupt, not an approval gate. The old NO cited the mode working and answered no anyway.

4. VERDICT OVERTURNED
   ChatGPT Tasks · ACTS no → yes filed by editorial internal audit · 2026-08-11 · decided 2026-08-11

   Live docs state tasks can use apps that take write actions in connected services, which changes state outside the conversation. Score moved 1/5 to 2/5, CRON JOB WITH EXTRA STEPS to WRAPPER WITH AMBITION.

5. VERDICT OVERTURNED
   Operator · RECOVERS no → yes filed by editorial internal audit · 2026-08-11 · decided 2026-08-11

   Per-action screenshot feedback lets it pick a different next step, and the system card shows it writing substitute scripts after a tool failed — a different action, taken with no human in the loop. Score moved 3/5 to 4/5, WRAPPER WITH AMBITION to AGENT.

6. VERDICT UPHELD
   LangGraph · RECOVERS filed by editorial internal audit · 2026-08-11 · decided 2026-08-11

   The claim was that RetryPolicy and error handlers constitute recovery. Rule 04 excludes repeating the identical call, and RetryPolicy re-runs the identical node attempt; the error handler is a developer-written hook, a primitive the framework provides rather than the framework devising an alternative. Verdict upheld.
