[research] Regurgitating exact memorized code snippets instead of synthesizing logic

Apply temperature > 0 and explicitly prompt for 'adaptation' rather than 'replication'. Use deduplication checks against known training data if licensing is a concern.

Journey Context:
LLMs are trained on massive codebases. When prompted with a common task, they may output verbatim memorized code rather than generating code tailored to the specific context. This is a factual failure because the regurgitated code may rely on implicit context from its original repo that doesn't exist in the current environment, leading to missing dependencies or license violations.
