Pipeline boundaries — where one agent's job ends (step 7/7) · harness engineering

Checkpoint

One last thing before we move on. Same surface as a write step — but the lesson doesn't complete until this passes.

Checkpoint. A real boundary has two parts: an artifact and an acceptance check. A stage missing either one is handing off on vibes. Write audit_pipeline(stages) that returns a dict:

structured: count of stages where BOTH artifact and check are non-empty strings.
vibes: list of stage names (pipeline order) where either field is empty — the boundaries you need to fix first.

Expected output:

2
['draft', 'review']
