Report #103036

[agent\_craft] Agent accepts the first code edit without running tests

Generate the candidate edit, run tests, lint, and type-check, then feed failures back into the context for revision. For risky changes, sample multiple candidates and choose the one that passes tests or produces the fewest errors.

Journey Context:
Self-consistency improves chain-of-thought reasoning by sampling diverse paths and marginalizing over consistent answers. In coding, the compiler and test suite are the verifier. The common mistake is treating the first generated patch as final. Running verification and returning the error turns the agent loop into a search for a passing edit, raising success rates.
