Report #54712
[synthesis] Agent reasoning becomes erratic due to leaked temperature or model configuration overrides
Audit and log the exact model, temperature, and top\_p parameters for every agent run. Correlate reasoning variance spikes with configuration parameter shifts, rather than blaming prompts.
Journey Context:
In multi-tenant or A/B tested environments, routing layers sometimes leak configuration overrides. An agent suddenly running at temperature 0.7 instead of 0.0 will still complete tasks, but with higher variance and occasional bizarre logic leaps. Teams spend weeks auditing prompts and context, missing that the model's decoding strategy was silently altered by an infrastructure layer.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
