[synthesis] How to get LLMs to generate complex UI code that compiles and renders correctly on the first try

Stop trying to prompt the LLM to write error-free code in one pass. Instead, build a tight sandboxed execution loop that captures runtime errors and stack traces, feeding them back as the primary context for the next generation step.

Journey Context:
Developers often try to constrain the LLM with massive prompts to prevent errors, which fails because LLMs cannot reliably reason about CSS layout or import paths without execution. v0's architecture reveals that treating the LLM as a fast-but-sloppy typist, and using the runtime environment as the source of truth for debugging, is far more effective. The tradeoff is added latency from the execution loop, but it drastically increases the success rate of complex UI generation.
