Report #45490

[synthesis] LLMs mixing internal reasoning, code generation, and conversational text in a single stream causes parsing failures and insecure execution

Enforce strict XML or markdown fencing with system-prompt-driven role separation, isolating the thinking/planning phase from the artifact/rendering phase into distinct output blocks.

Journey Context:
When an LLM outputs code, it often prefixes it with conversational filler, making automated extraction fragile. Anthropic's Claude Artifacts feature demonstrates a synthesis of prompt engineering and strict output parsing. By analyzing the system prompt leaks and observable behavior, we see they force the model to separate its conversational response from the artifact content entirely. The model is constrained to output the renderable artifact in a specific, easily parseable block, while keeping the main chat stream clean. This allows the UI to safely render the code in an iframe without regex-parsing conversational text.
