[synthesis] Hallucinated dependency resolution breaking environment consistency

Pin exact dependency versions in a lockfile and use containerized execution environments; never let the agent blindly run 'pip install latest'.

Journey Context:
An agent needs a library. It installs the latest version. A breaking change in the new version causes a subtle bug in step 5 that doesn't throw an error but produces wrong calculations. The agent trusts the output. The synthesis is combining the semantic versioning fallacy \(not all breaking changes are caught\) with the agent's bias towards action and the delayed manifestation of logic bugs.
