why are you assuming there would be no proper verification in this scenario?

Proper verification would be deterministic rules the JIT-ed code would be checked against, so it would have to be non-JIT. Since the comment is talking about using more & more JIT for security reasons, I assumed it extended to verification too.

I don't get why you'd generally switch to JIT for security reasons.

Because the verification would also be done by something non deterministic and then that’s a paradox.

If you're doing formal verification, why are you JIT generating Code? Is the formal verification also being JITd? How do you know the agent wrote a good spec?
