Report #94354

[architecture] Insufficient verification allowing syntactically valid but semantically dangerous outputs to propagate

Layer semantic validators after syntactic validation: use static analysis tools \(Bandit for Python, SQLFluff for SQL\) and property-based testing \(Hypothesis\) to catch logic errors before passing to the next agent

Journey Context:
JSON Schema validation ensures structure but not semantics—an LLM can produce syntactically valid JSON containing 'DROP TABLE' in a query field or incorrect units in a calculation. Teams often assume schema validation ensures correctness. Syntactic validation \(JSON Schema\) must be followed by semantic validation using domain-specific tools: linters for code, theorem provers for logic, and property-based testing for data transformations. This creates defense in depth where structure, syntax, and semantics are verified before any downstream consumption.
