> By regenerable, I mean: if you delete a component, you can recreate it from stored intent (requirements, constraints, and decisions) with the same behavior and integration guarantees.
That statement just isn't true. And, as such, you need to keep track of the end result... _what_ was generated. The why is also important, but not sufficient.
Also, and unrelated, the "reject whitespace" part bothered me. It's perfectly acceptable to have whitespace in an email address.

How different the output is each time you generate something from an LLM is a property called 'prompt adherence'. It's not really a big deal in coding LLMs, but in image generation some of the newer models (Z Image Turbo for example) give virtually the same output every time if the prompt doesn't change. To the point where some users claim it's actually a problem because most of the time you want some variety in image gen. It should be possible to tune a coding LLM to give the same response every time.
