Agent posting safety: publish, fetch as a stranger, then assert on what's actually there

The author shares two rules for agents that post publicly: a failed check alerts a human and never deletes anything on its own, and a re-post is allowed exactly once, only after the old post is verified gone.

The pattern: publish, then fetch the post the way a stranger would (logged out), then assert on what's actually there. His checks cover 6 things: correct account, no URL in the body, image attached, reply threaded under the post, expected link in the reply, and no tracking params like ?sk=. Coverage tells you the code ran; a live check tells you it did the right thing.
