What a Model May Draft in Docs: A Sentence-Role Contract and a Claim Quarantine Gate The question that scales…

AI models can exhibit unpredictable behavior, leading to inconsistent results even with identical prompts. This inconsistency is often due to factors like warm caches, short inputs, or sheer luck, rather than the model being broken. To address this, developers should implement rigorous testing protocols that log multiple runs, record machine-checked output validity, and measure execution time, rather than relying on simple screenshots. Furthermore, tests should explicitly declare all sources of nondeterminism, such as time-dependent functions or external inputs, to prevent AI

    A green run you cannot replay is a timestamp, not a signal. Agent-written patches hit this constantly: the new test reads the wall clock, opens a socket to a local stub, or depends on the interpreter's per-process hash seed. It passes once. On the next run — different second, dif…
