DISCONNECT THE HANDLE
NOW WATCH THE WATER
a hand pump demo can get every beat right
the handle swings
the piston moves
water hits the tray
here’s the test I’d run
start with the same water level in two runs
→ in the first, move the handle with the linkage connected
→ in the second, disconnect the handle from the piston and repeat the stroke
let any leftover water drain before you check the second run
if each disconnected stroke still sends a fresh stream into the tray, you’ve found a missing dependency
record the piston movement and how much water reaches the tray in both runs
now you have something you can show
this article breaks down three checks for AI demos and includes a prompt to run them on your own build ↓
LOCK ONE GEAR AND WATCH WHAT KEEPS MOVING
if the gears connected to it keep spinning, you’ve found a bug the demo hid
I put 3 checks for AI demos and a ready-to-copy audit prompt in the article ↓
