Report #16211

[research] Generating code that contradicts earlier parts of the same generated file \(e.g., calling a function with the wrong arity defined 50 lines above\)

Implement iterative self-repair; generate the code, then immediately run a static type checker \(e.g., mypy, pyright\) or linter in a loop to catch internal contradictions before presenting to the user.

Journey Context:
Autoregressive generation suffers from recency bias and limited attention span over long outputs. The model forgets the exact signature it wrote earlier. Relying on the model to 'get it right in one shot' is a known failure mode. Using the model as a generator \+ an external compiler/linter as a critic creates a grounded feedback loop that forces factual consistency with its own prior tokens.
