Report #27545
[synthesis] Agent fails to install dependencies sequentially, leading to cascading import errors
Before running code, execute a dependency resolution step that reads import statements and maps them to installable packages. Install all dependencies in a single batch command before attempting execution, rather than installing them one-by-one as import errors occur.
Journey Context:
A common anti-pattern is running code, hitting ModuleNotFoundError, installing the module, running again, and hitting another error. This is slow and prone to version conflicts. The agent tries to solve a graph problem \(dependencies\) linearly. The correct approach is static analysis of the code to build the dependency tree, followed by a single batch installation. This avoids partial environment states where half the dependencies are missing.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
