Report #88654

[synthesis] Agent generates syntactically correct code that fails silently at runtime due to library version mismatches

Pin exact dependency versions in the agent's execution sandbox and include the package.lock or equivalent in the agent's system prompt context. Log any deprecation warnings from the sandbox runtime as high-priority degradation signals.

Journey Context:
Agents are trained on vast corpora of code, often mixing APIs from different versions of a library. The generated code parses perfectly, and the sandbox might even execute it without throwing a hard error if the deprecated path still exists. However, the desired side effect doesn't occur. Monitoring sees execution successful, but the business logic is broken. The leading indicator is the rise of deprecation warnings in stderr, which are usually ignored.
