A Zero-Budget Verification Layer for Agent Patches: Compile, Property, and Bound Before Merge

Description and use

Build a zero‑budget verification layer for agent patches: compile, property, and performance checks using free MonkeyCode model and server.

Problem

Agent-generated patches can pass human review yet break invariants; need a cheap gate to verify compile, properties, and performance before human review.

Outcome

The gate filters out patches that fail to compile, violate invariants, or exceed performance limits, saving human review time.

Workflow

• 1. Use MonkeyCode free model to generate or explain the patch.
• 2. Run the patch on a free server with a verification script that compiles the code.
• 3. Execute property tests (e.g., property that merged vector is sorted and preserves multiset).
• 4. Measure execution time to ensure it meets performance bounds.
• 5. Use a decision table to decide whether to forward the patch for human review or reject it.

Evidence

You need a cheap, repeatable gate that sits before human review and answers three questions: does it compile, does it preserve the properties you care about, and is it fast enough?
