Report #98109

[counterintuitive] A model can reliably review and fix its own generated code.

Separate generation and review models \(different providers or model families\) and enforce deterministic security tooling; never let the same model or distribution be the only checker of its own output.

Journey Context:
Self-correction research shows LLMs fail to correct errors in their own outputs far more often than identical errors attributed to another source. The blind spot traces to training distribution: human demonstrations rarely include 'distrust and correct my own work' sequences. In code, this means a model that produced a vulnerable SQL-concatenation pattern is likely to affirm it during review. Cross-model review introduces variance in blind spots and catches more issues, but it still does not replace rule-based scanners.
