[synthesis] How to ensure AI agent code output quality without relying solely on user feedback

Implement a secondary, smaller 'evaluator' model in the agent loop that checks the primary model's output for syntax errors, constraint adherence, or hallucinations before returning it to the user or applying it.

Journey Context:
Relying on the primary generation model to self-correct is unreliable due to sycophancy. Synthesizing job postings for RLHF/reward model engineers and the observable latency of some AI tools \(which suggests a secondary pass\), production systems are moving towards an 'actor-critic' architecture at inference time. A fast, cheap model acts as a gatekeeper, rejecting or filtering the output of the expensive generation model before it reaches the user.
