Report #53953
[synthesis] Safety caveats contaminating generated code or breaking parsers
For GPT-4o, parse markdown prose separately from code blocks. For Claude, implement a regex or AST check to strip safety comments \(e.g., \`\# Note: ...\`\) from the top of generated code files before writing to disk.
Journey Context:
Agents often extract code by pulling markdown code blocks, assuming the code itself is clean. However, models differ in where they place unsolicited safety caveats. GPT-4o typically places caveats in the markdown prose \*before\* the code block. Claude frequently embeds caveats \*inside\* the code as comments, particularly at the file header. If an agent writes the extracted code directly to a file, Claude's embedded comments can break linters, interpreters, or pollute production code.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
