Report #57920

[research] Model generates code using plausible but non-existent library methods or incorrect function signatures

Ground code generation by injecting the actual library documentation or type stubs into the context. Enforce static type checking \(e.g., mypy/pyright\) as an automated feedback loop for the agent.

Journey Context:
LLMs memorize common API patterns but frequently conflate similar APIs or invent parameters that should exist based on the naming conventions of the library. This is a specific form of hallucination where syntactic validity masks semantic incorrectness. RAG with up-to-date API docs or REPL execution with type checking acts as a verifiable grounding mechanism.
