Can your MHS pilot fail safely on the real device?
Check preview access, physical identity, typed driver state, shared adapter policy, deterministic limits, independent interlocks, failure tests, and reconstructable evidence before an agent controls equipment.
Quick answer
Use this check only for one named device and reversible workflow. A credible MHS pilot binds logical and physical identity, validates typed commands outside the model, preserves independent interlocks and stop authority, and proves failure recovery on a supervised real-hardware fixture.
Local result
Define the physical boundary
Eight gates remain. Begin with one named device, one reversible workflow, and the independent control that stops unsafe motion or energy.
A checklist cannot certify equipment, replace vendor instructions, qualified safety engineering, scientific review, operating procedures, or applicable law.
