Report #93237

[synthesis] Unsolicited safety caveats break JSON or code parsing in automated pipelines

Instruct the model explicitly: 'Output ONLY the raw code/JSON without any preamble, disclaimers, or safety warnings.' For GPT-4o/Gemini, add 'Do not include any conversational filler before or after the code block.'

Journey Context:
When using LLMs for autonomous code generation, GPT-4o and Gemini frequently inject safety caveats \(e.g., 'Please ensure you handle this securely...'\) before the code block. This breaks parsers expecting pure JSON or code. Claude is generally more compliant with raw output but might add conversational filler if the prompt isn't strict. The cross-model fix is a strict negative constraint in the system prompt against conversational filler, which is the most reliable way to suppress this across providers.
