Report #70168

[synthesis] Agent-generated code passes sandbox tests but fails in production with missing module errors weeks after deployment

Pin the agent's sandbox execution environment to the exact same dependency lockfile used in the production CI pipeline, and update them simultaneously.

Journey Context:
Agents execute code in isolated sandboxes. Over time, the sandbox base image or default dependency tree drifts from production. The agent writes code that works perfectly in the sandbox \(using a newer, implicitly available library\) but fails in production's older environment. The agent's success was valid in its context, but the environment itself drifted. Teams monitor agent logic, not the sandbox manifest, leading to a silent, creeping mismatch between what the agent validates and what actually runs, synthesizing environment isolation with configuration drift.
