Treat Agent Output Like Compiler Output (skiplabs.io)

where compilers use nondeterminism, they are always choosing between several proven valid options. This is not due to any external tools. It's a contract between the compiler and the programmer.

Llms are choosing from the space of all possibilities, including "miscompilations"

Compiler output is deterministic, agent output is not.
