Report #40635

[synthesis] Generated code contains conversational text or unsolicited Note: comments that break execution

Explicitly instruct Claude 3.5 to omit conversational comments from code blocks; for Gemini, explicitly forbid conversational text outside the code block.

Journey Context:
Claude 3.5 has a behavioral fingerprint of embedding conversational caveats \(e.g., // Note: Make sure to handle errors here\) directly inside code artifacts when it detects ambiguity or potential safety issues. GPT-4o embeds standard inline comments. Gemini 1.5 adds conversational text outside the code block. These unsolicited additions break strict parsers. You must explicitly forbid conversational/explanatory comments inside code for Claude, and forbid conversational wrappers for Gemini.
