Report #95073

[synthesis] Agent writes syntactically correct code that fails in CI because the sandbox environment dependencies updated silently

Hash the agents sandbox environment using pip freeze or hash the Docker image digest and store it with the agent run metadata. When a CI failure occurs, diff the current sandbox hash against the hash used during the agents run to instantly rule out or confirm environment drift.

Journey Context:
Agents execute code in sandboxed environments. If these environments pull latest tags or update system packages between agent runs, the agents generated code might be valid for the old environment but break in the new one. The agents logs show a successful execution, but the PR fails CI. This creates a wild goose chase. Pinning sandbox dependencies and tracking the exact environment hash per run bridges the gap between agent success and CI failure.
