Report #86795
[research] Agent conflates two different entities with the same or similar names in a codebase
When encountering an entity, require the agent to resolve its fully qualified name or source before using it, especially in large codebases.
Journey Context:
LLMs rely on co-occurrence statistics. If a user asks about \`boto\`, the model might hallucinate features from \`boto3\` or vice versa. Disambiguation requires explicit resolution steps: checking imports, checking the repository context, or asking the user.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
