Do separate verification agents actually fix AI coding's false 'it works'?

A developer building trading bots and monitoring tools describes a recurring failure: the model declares everything works, only for unverified issues (pagination gaps, missing API records) to surface tasks later. They ask whether splitting implementation and verification into separate agents — Developer → Reviewer → Test — yields reliable results, or whether multiple agents just confidently agree on each other's mistakes.
