Functional requirements are known knowns.
Out of bounds behavior is sometimes a known unknown, but in the era of generated code is exclusively unknown unknowns.
Good luck speccing out all the unanticipated side effects and undefined behaviors. Perhaps you can prompt the agent in a loop a bnumber of times but it's hard to believe that the brute-force throw-more-tokens-at-it approach has the same level of return as a more attentive audit by human eyeballs.
