[synthesis] How to ensure LLM-generated UI code compiles and renders correctly on the first try without manual user debugging

Constrain the LLM to a specific component schema \(e.g., React \+ Tailwind \+ predefined primitives\) and implement a hidden headless render/eval step that checks for compilation errors before showing the result to the user, allowing the model to self-correct in the loop.

Journey Context:
General-purpose LLMs often hallucinate non-existent CSS classes, import incorrect libraries, or write broken JSX. The synthesis of v0's high success rate and standard compiler-agent patterns reveals that zero-shot generation is insufficient for production UI. v0 restricts the model to shadcn/ui primitives and runs a hidden sandbox. If the code fails to compile, the error is fed back to the model immediately, and the user only sees the successful render. This shifts the debugging burden from the user to the agent loop.
