This one's a bit of a stretch, but hear me out. Upon selecting a level, there could be an option nearby to "Autoplay" the level. Creators can choose to implement this in their levels, so it isn't forced, and it could be taken in 2 directions:
1: Traditional auto
Everything is automatically done with jump pads, portals, etc.
2: Gameplay playback
The user's verification attempt could be played back as a TAS-type recording.

Cons:

2: Gameplay playback
The user's verification attempt could be played back as a TAS-type recording.
Pros:
- People can easily just play an auto level without needing to look up "X auto"
- The Gameplay playback feature can allow for proof of verification
- The automatic version could be used in YouTube videos, not only as proof of verification, but also to save those frames when playing.
Cons:
- People can pass off auto gameplay as legitimate completions
Much like with start positions displaying "Testmode", auto gameplay could display "Auto" or equivalent.
- More stress on creators to create automatic versions
It'd be optional, so no they don't have to.
- Auto levels become purposeless
Levels that are designed to be auto will remain auto.
This feature is only intended for automatic visualizations of playable levels.

- Slows down gameplay when verifying/frame dips
Again: It's optional.
