Report #55056

[synthesis] Agent silently abandons its initial architectural plan during execution, leading to fragmented code

Extract the agent's initial plan into a structured JSON schema, then compare the dependencies and module boundaries of that plan against the actual file modification graph generated during execution. Alert if the edit graph diverges from the plan graph.

Journey Context:
Agents often output a great plan, but as they execute step-by-step, they encounter minor friction \(e.g., a missing import, a stubborn test\) and make local compromises. The final code works locally but violates the global architecture. Reviews often miss this because the PR is large and the immediate diff looks functional. The synthesis is converting the LLM's natural language plan into a dependency graph and diffing it against the actual git diff graph, bridging NLP planning and graph theory to catch architectural drift.
