Report #40606

[synthesis] Agent writes syntactically correct but architecturally wrong code due to silent retrieval drift

Monitor the cosine distance distribution of retrieved chunks against a golden set baseline. Alert on shifts in the average distance, not just the presence of results.

Journey Context:
When a vector database is updated with new documents or embeddings are re-indexed, the agent still retrieves context and generates code. Tests might pass, but the architectural patterns shift to match the newly dominant \(but perhaps less relevant\) documents. The error isn't a crash; it's a subtle shift in code style or library version usage. The synthesis is coupling vector DB operational metrics \(index update events, distance metrics\) with agent output static analysis \(AST parsing for imported library versions\). You only catch this by correlating index updates with code style drift.
