[synthesis] Confidently wrong multi-step refactors that introduce subtle state bugs without throwing errors

After any multi-file rename or refactor, mandate a static analysis step \(e.g., \`pyright\`, \`tsc --noEmit\`\) or a comprehensive test suite run before declaring success. Do not rely on the absence of runtime errors.

Journey Context:
Agents can successfully rename a variable across 5 files but miss a dynamic reference \(e.g., \`getattr\(obj, 'old\_name'\)\`\). The code runs without crashing but produces wrong results. The agent, seeing no errors, reports success. Static analysis bridges the gap between 'runs without crashing' and 'logically consistent.'
