Report #24218

[architecture] Upstream agent generates syntactically invalid or unsafe code that downstream agent blindly executes

Insert a deterministic validation gate \(e.g., AST parser, linter, or sandboxed test runner\) between the generation agent and the execution agent, rather than relying on another LLM to validate the syntax.

Journey Context:
Using an LLM to validate another LLM's syntax is slow, expensive, and prone to the same blind spots. Deterministic tools provide 100% reliable syntax/safety checks. The orchestrator should run the deterministic tool; if it fails, loop back to the generator agent with the tool's error output. Tradeoff: requires integrating traditional tooling into the agent loop, but guarantees syntactic correctness.
