A repeated end-of-session cleanup check keeps catching drift in agent workflows

The image shows a coding-agent workflow note about repeatedly asking at the end of a session whether anything was persisted, cleaned, or updated. Each pass keeps surfacing different problems: vanished tasks, drifting line citations, docs no longer matching code, and worklog items that were marked done but were not. The point is that a mechanical final check catches issues intuition misses, especially in agent-heavy sessions.

It is a practical reminder that one-off wrap-up questions are not enough when using agents to manage code and documentation. The poster argues that a repeated, structured cleanup review can reveal hidden drift and prevent false confidence that everything is in order.
