过时的代码库指令，例如旧的README文件或说明文件，可能会悄无声息地误导编码代理，即使当前请求已存在，代理仍可能解决任务的过时版本。这个问题之所以棘手，是因为输出结果可能看起来连贯，但实际上却解决了错误的目标，使得故障难以察觉。社区正在寻求实际的解决方案，例如生成文档、明确的单一事实来源文件、新鲜度检查，或者优先考虑当前代码和测试而非散文的规则。
Stale documentation can quietly become a second task description for a coding agent. The agent may have the current request in front of it, but an old README, instruction file, or saved explanation can still pull the result toward a goal that no longer applies.
The failure is subtle because nothing has to crash. The output can look coherent while solving the wrong version of the task.
A reasonable safeguard might be to make repository instructions prove that they are still current. If a document cannot point to a file, command, or test that supports it now, the agent should treat it as context rather than authority.
How are you handling this in practice? Generated docs, explicit source-of-truth files, freshness checks, or a rule that current code and tests override prose?
