Why Coding Agents Work and Why They Break
The same model hallucinates in web chat but ships a 200-line feature in a coding agent. Not because the model changed — because the topology changed. Generation can be probabilistic. Verification must be deterministic.
Feedback Topology Over Model IQ
The same model stalls at 40 or completes all 527. The difference is not the model — it is the feedback structure. LLM performance depends far more on how fast and deterministic the feedback loop is than on the model itself.
