A developer encountered issues with an LLM's output, where the model returned valid JSON that was structurally incorrect, leading to pipeline failures. Three distinct problems arose within 48 hours: a missing required key, a type mismatch where a string was returned instead of a list, and a silent empty list that was misinterpreted by the consumer logic. To address these issues, a validation layer was implemented to check expected fields, types, and required keys, logging any discrepancies to prevent future pipeline errors. AI
