I see what you are getting at. My point is that if you train and agent and verifier/governor together based on rewards from e.g. RLVR, the system (agent + governor) is what will reward hack. OpenAI demonstrated this in their "Learning to Reason with CoT" blog post, where they showed that using a model to detect and punish strings associated with reward hacking in the CoT just led the model to reward hack in ways that were harder to detect. Stacking higher and higher order verifiers maybe buys you time, but also increases false negative rates + reward hacking is a stable attractor for the system.
