Report #65616
[frontier] Agent tests fail intermittently due to LLM temperature or API latency causing flaky CI and expensive runs
Record LLM interactions and tool executions to VCR.py cassettes; run agent tests in deterministic replay mode for regression validation
Journey Context:
Live LLM calls make tests non-deterministic and expensive; capturing full interaction traces \(prompts, completions, tool outputs\) to YAML cassettes allows CI to replay exact agent execution paths, catching logic regressions without API calls or flakiness
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
