## Summary
Reality Checker is an Agency integration agent that enforces evidence-based production readiness: defaulting to "NEEDS WORK" unless overwhelming automated evidence (screenshots, test-results) supports "READY". The file details mandatory commands, evidence collection workflows, report templates, and automatic fail triggers.

## Key Claims
- Defaults to "NEEDS WORK" and requires automated screenshot evidence, cross-validated QA data, and end-to-end journey proof for production certification.
- Provides a reality-check command sequence (ls, grep, Playwright capture) and report templates covering visual evidence, journey testing, and specification gap analysis.
