Resilient systems can't be "certified done." Engineering leaders need rolling assurance gates, not one-time sign-offs, to govern self-healing systems.

Engineering managers certify cyber-physical systems as "resilient" after rigorous testing, then move on. But defenses like BFT++ trade static correctness for physics-timed recovery, meaning the threat model keeps evolving after sign-off. This piece argues the fix isn't more testing or more stage-gates; it's replacing one-time certification with rolling assurance gates, triggered by new hardware, new threat intel, or new AI agents in the loop.
