Report #54149

[synthesis] GPT-4o injects safety comments into generated code, Claude adds inline caveats, and Gemini adds prose disclaimers before the code block

To strip unsolicited safety caveats from generated code, use a post-processing regex to remove lines starting with // WARNING or \# NOTE for GPT-4o/Claude, and strip prose before the first markdown code fence for Gemini.

Journey Context:
When generating code that touches sensitive domains \(e.g., cryptography, networking, file I/O\), models add unsolicited caveats, but the injection point differs. GPT-4o often injects comments directly into the code body \(e.g., // WARNING: Ensure this key is kept secret\). Claude 3.5 Sonnet tends to add inline comments or wrap the code in a try-catch with a verbose error message. Gemini Pro tends to prepend a paragraph of safety warnings before the code block. If an agent blindly concatenates the model's output into a file or executes it, GPT-4o's comments clutter the codebase, Claude's try-catches alter runtime behavior, and Gemini's prose causes syntax errors. Parsing must account for the specific injection fingerprint.
