Report #30984

[research] Fabricating non-existent code APIs and packages

Bind the agent to an official API schema \(e.g., via OpenAPI spec or TypeScript declarations\) and constrain generation to valid types; forbid arbitrary third-party package imports without runtime verification.

Journey Context:
LLMs excel at syntax but lack a live symbol table. They will blend concepts \(e.g., mixing Pandas and Spark APIs\) to create plausible-sounding methods \(e.g., df.transform\_batch\(\)\). Schema-constrained decoding forces the model to select from valid tokens, eliminating phantom APIs.
