how nuclear inspectors can inspect other countries nuclear weapon inventories and uranium refining abilities in a way that can be trusted and not just staged by the inspected country

So with the “trust but verify” mind set the U.S. widely employed with these agreements it becomes part of the deal. For example the deal is we both agree to these weapons limits and we both can demand an inspection at any facility any time. To refuse is to violate the agreement. Goes both ways. We would go to Russia, Russians would come here. And there is different levels of this. Till recently the U.S. and Russia were allowed to fly over whatever military facilities in the other country they wanted and basically openly spy. The U.S. pulled out of the intermediate nuclear weapons agreement with Russia in part because Russia started refusing the inspection part, along with intel we had they were violating it as well. When the verify part broke down the agreement broke down.
