What does your agent's "done" look like? Mine ends with a record, or it didn't happen

For the first month of running an agent on my weekend side projects, "done" was a feeling. The agent said the work was finished, I believed it, and a week later I couldn't tell what had actually shipped.

Now "done" has a definition in my setup: a run ends with a record — what changed, the numbers, and what needs my decision. No record, not done. It sounds bureaucratic, but it made everything downstream calmer: weekday checks take a minute, and Sunday decisions start from evidence instead of archaeology.

I'm curious how others here define it. Is your "done" a checklist? A test passing? A human glance? Or is it still a feeling?

Context, for anyone setting up Muse (Meta's personal AI agent) like I did: an invite code entered within 48 hours of signup grants 1 billion bonus tokens to both sides, and the field disappears after that window. Mine is UP711Q (Settings → Redeem token in the app; Settings → General → Usage → Redeem invite code on the web), if it's useful to anyone starting this week.
