Report #30335

[synthesis] Agent becomes erratic or overly conservative after infrastructure-as-code deployments change default sampling parameters

Log the exact top\_p and temperature used per request at the orchestrator level, and correlate variance in agent behavior with parameter drift.

Journey Context:
Teams often set temperature in code, but a provider update, a proxy layer, or an IaC tool might override it to a default. The agent doesn't fail, but its success rate drops. Because the agent is non-deterministic, the drop is slow and noisy. Monitoring the exact parameters sent to the API and grouping metrics by these parameters catches this instantly.
