to maintain a mental model of LLM generated code I resort to exclusively DOD (data oriented design) principles. I spend most of my time engineering structs and describing transitions in English then have the LLM execute on the transitions and whatever scaffolding (eg. async runtimes, external libraries) are required.

it usually helps if you know how something is to be done, you just want to save time not doing it yourself. this way you can give the LLM intermediate structs and transitions to work with, and constrain it this way not to do something stupid.
