Report #47375
[synthesis] Agent executes correct actions on stale state producing logically valid but factually wrong results
Inject a state version hash or timestamp into the agent's observation payload. Before executing write operations, force a state reconciliation check.
Journey Context:
In production, agents operate over mutable external state \(e.g., Git repos, live databases\). If an agent's planning phase takes 30 seconds, the base state might change. The agent doesn't hallucinate; it accurately executes a plan for a state that no longer exists. Standard logs show a successful tool execution chain. The synthesis of concurrent system race conditions and LLM agent latency shows that high latency directly correlates with state desync failures, which are invisible to the agent's internal logic.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
