Report #75529

[research] Exact match assertions fail on non-deterministic LLM agent outputs in CI regression suites

Use LLM-as-a-judge or embedding distance \(e.g., cosine similarity > 0.85\) for regression evals, combined with tool-call exact match assertions.

Journey Context:
Traditional software regression relies on exact string or JSON matches. LLMs naturally vary phrasing, causing constant CI failures. The solution is a hybrid eval: strict matching on the actions \(tool names and structured arguments\) the agent takes, but fuzzy/semantic matching on the reasoning and final natural language output.
