Agents say "done" when code is missing — malveon check runs deterministic pre-commit validation

After a rant about AI IDEs declaring "task complete" with missing backend routes and unwired buttons blew up to 21K+ views on Reddit, the author found the pain was universal: agents were essentially grading their own homework, forcing devs to manually inspect diffs.
Built from deep conversations with affected developers, malveon check (v0.1.0, free beta) is a lightweight local CLI that:
- Auto-detects your plan and runs deterministic build, lint, and test commands before every git commit
- Marks unverifiable checks as NO PROOF instead of letting an LLM guess a pass
The core idea: replace LLM self-assessment with deterministic verification to stop agents claiming completion when code is missing.
