Report #20813

[synthesis] Generating monolithic code blocks that are impossible to debug or iterate on

Generate code as a single self-contained component tree using standard UI primitives \(like shadcn/ui\), and rely on iterative user feedback loops to refine rather than trying to build a complex multi-file app in one shot.

Journey Context:
v0 by Vercel doesn't try to scaffold a full Next.js app in one prompt. It focuses on the UI layer, generating a single file that uses well-known components. This reduces the surface area for errors. The architecture is 'generate -> render -> diff -> fix' in a tight loop. Multi-file generation in one shot often leads to broken imports and state management failures, whereas component-scoped generation keeps the LLM grounded.
