Report #66212

[frontier] Agents hallucinate when staying in single modality—text-only planning produces physically impossible actions, vision-only execution misses semantic constraints

Enforce modal oscillation: text planning → vision execution → text\+vision verification, creating explicit verification checkpoints where visual outcomes are compared against original text intents

Journey Context:
Text agents plan impossible actions \(e.g., 'click the red button' when button is blue\); vision agents miss semantic constraints; alternating forces reconciliation between symbolic and perceptual representations. Critical: verification step must compare visual outcome screenshot against original text intent, flagging discrepancies \(e.g., 'expected red button, saw blue button'\). This differs from simple CoT by requiring explicit cross-modal consistency checks.
