Report #9038

[research] Generated code compiles and runs without errors but produces incorrect or fabricated results because the model hallucinated the behavior of a standard library function

Execute generated code in a sandboxed environment with predefined assertions \(test-driven generation\) rather than relying on static analysis or model self-evaluation to verify correctness.

Journey Context:
LLMs are excellent at syntax but poor at semantics. A model might confidently use a standard library function with a fabricated argument that silently returns a different shape. Static checking passes, but the logic is hallucinated. The only reliable ground truth for code is execution against a test suite.
