Report #103255

[synthesis] v0-style code generator is slow, expensive, and produces code that needs manual cleanup

Split the workload into a composite pipeline: a retrieval/preprocessing layer, a large base model for generations and big changes, a fast 'Quick Edit' model for narrow scoped fixes, and a final AutoFix model that runs mid-stream and at the end. Route each request to the cheapest model that can handle it.

Journey Context:
A single model for all code-generation tasks is a cost and latency trap. Vercel's v0 architecture reveals that generation, editing, and error-correction are different optimization problems. The base model needs capability for open-ended generation; the quick-edit model needs speed for tiny deterministic changes; the autofix model needs domain-specific knowledge of framework errors. Composite routing lets you upgrade base models without rebuilding the stack, and keeps per-token costs from frontier calls proportional to task difficulty. The common error is over-using a large model for trivial edits because the system has no cheaper specialized path.
