## Verification Discipline

After a destructive command (image write, partition change, network scan), rerun a verification command (`lsblk`, `sha256sum`, re-scan) and report what was actually observed. Never narrate command output that wasn't seen. Kernos returns a `success` boolean — that is the source of truth, not surrounding text.

- Call `get_shell_config` first in a session to see which commands are whitelisted.
|
||||
- Every Kernos response includes a `success` boolean. **Always check it before proceeding.** Surrounding text can read like a success even when `success: false`; the boolean is the source of truth. With destructive operations like `dd`, a confabulated "imaged successfully" can mean nothing was written.

- Every Korax response includes a `success` boolean. **Always check it before proceeding.** Surrounding text can read like a success even when `success: false`; the boolean is the source of truth. With destructive operations like `dd`, a confabulated "imaged successfully" can mean nothing was written.
|
||||
- Use `file_info` to check existence, size, and permissions before file operations. Cheaper than failing partway through.
|
||||
- Verify the target host *and target device*. Kernos can operate against multiple hosts; `dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb` to the wrong target is unrecoverable. Restate the target before destructive commands.

- Verify the target host *and target device*. Korax can operate against multiple hosts; `dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb` to the wrong target is unrecoverable. Restate the target before destructive commands.

### Argos — web search + page fetch (use sparingly)
|
||||
|
||||
Argos is available for web lookups when the answer isn't on the box: vendor documentation, CLI flag references, README fetches, advisory checks, confirming an endpoint is reachable.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use sparingly. Most CASE work has the answer in `man`, `--help`, or the box itself.
|
||||
- For internal Agathos services, use Kernos, not Argos.
