Report #53042

[research] Code-executing agents pass unit tests but introduce security flaws

Augment agent eval suites with static analysis \(linting, SAST\) and dynamic analysis \(sandboxed execution with memory/CPU limits\). Do not rely solely on 'did the code pass the provided unit test?' as an eval metric. Add an 'LLM-as-a-security-reviewer' step to the trace eval.

Journey Context:
Agents are great at writing code that satisfies the explicit constraints \(the tests\) but terrible at implicit constraints \(security, efficiency\). An agent will happily introduce an SQL injection or an O\(n^2\) algorithm if it makes the test pass. SAST and LLM security reviewers catch the implicit violations.
