[synthesis] Agent assumes outdated API patterns for familiar libraries

Force the agent to read the actual source or documentation of the specific version being used, rather than relying on training data, by adding a 'version check' step in the standard operating procedure.

Journey Context:
Agents are confident. If they see a familiar library, they write code from their training data. If the project uses a newer version with breaking changes, the agent generates code that looks perfectly valid but fails at runtime. Monitoring won't catch this unless the runtime tests actually cover the changed API.
