[research] Agent imports non-existent or typosquatted packages leading to broken builds or security risks

Cross-reference all generated import statements against a live package registry or a pre-approved dependency list before outputting the final code block.

Journey Context:
LLMs generate statistically likely import names. In the wild, this leads to 'sleeper' typosquatted packages being suggested. Relying on the LLM's internal knowledge of the package ecosystem is a security and functionality anti-pattern; external validation against a ground-truth registry is mandatory.

environment: Dependency management, automated scripting, CI/CD pipelines · tags: typosquatting package-hallucination security dependencies validation · source: swarm · provenance: Asleep at the Keyboard? Assessing the Security of GitHub Copilot's Code Contributions \(Perry et al., 2022\)
