Report #30692

[architecture] A single LLM is expected to generate and verify its own work, leading to blind spots where it justifies its own flawed logic

Implement a separate, smaller verifier agent that strictly evaluates the output against a rubric or test case before passing it to the next agent in the chain.

Journey Context:
Self-reflection \('review your own code'\) often fails because the LLM lacks the cognitive diversity to catch its own mistakes. A distinct verifier agent with a different system prompt acts as an adversarial check. Tradeoff: Doubles latency and token cost, but necessary for high-stakes pipelines like SQL generation or financial transactions.
