Report #82102

[synthesis] Why does an AI feature silently degrade in quality over time without triggering any error monitors?

Implement 'Semantic CI/CD' using LLM-as-a-judge evaluators on a golden dataset to monitor output quality continuously, triggering alerts on quality score drops, not just HTTP status codes.

Journey Context:
Traditional software fails loudly \(500 errors, exceptions\). AI features fail silently. If an upstream API changes its formatting, or the world changes \(e.g., a new event happens\), the LLM just hallucinates or gives lower-quality answers. It returns a 200 OK, but the semantic value is 0. Standard uptime monitoring misses this entirely because the infrastructure is healthy, but the logic is broken.
