      <title>Deterministic reliability stack for LLM pipelines</title>
      <dc:creator>BN</dc:creator>

      <link>https://dev.to/bn3020/deterministic-reliability-stack-for-llm-pipelines-24ba</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/bn3020/deterministic-reliability-stack-for-llm-pipelines-24ba</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have been spending the last few months wiring up a deterministic reliability stack for structured LLM pipelines.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today, LLM Contract Check (locc) and Release Governor went live on PyPI. EGA went live last week.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The stack is straightforward:&lt;br&gt;
LLM Contract Check - CI contract testing to catch schema regressions.&lt;br&gt;
Release Governor - Blocks staging promotion if malformed outputs leak.&lt;br&gt;
EGA - Runtime enforcement. Forces outputs to ground against source evidence before they move downstream.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The idea is simple:&lt;br&gt;
don’t wait until production logs or human evals tell you something broke.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Try to catch:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;unstable contracts in CI&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;leakage before deploy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;unsupported outputs at runtime&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Still early.&lt;br&gt;
Not benchmarked.&lt;br&gt;
Definitely not claiming this "solves AI safety."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm mainly looking for engineers building RAG or structured-output systems who are willing to plug pieces of this in and tell me where the assumptions break.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;pip install llm-locc&lt;br&gt;
pip install llm-release-governor&lt;br&gt;
pip install ega&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>EGA: Runtime Enforcement for LLM Outputs (v1.0.0)</title>
      <dc:creator>BN</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 01:36:39 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/bn3020/ega-runtime-enforcement-for-llm-outputs-v100-1b89</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/bn3020/ega-runtime-enforcement-for-llm-outputs-v100-1b89</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I built EGA, a runtime enforcement layer for LLM outputs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The problem: eval tools usually score after something already went wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;They do not stop bad outputs from going downstream.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;EGA sits in the runtime path and checks the model output against the source before letting it pass through.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If something does not have support, it gets dropped or flagged.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;v1.0.0 is live on PyPI today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is still early:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;not benchmarked yet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;not production-grade calibration yet&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;needs real RAG pipeline feedback&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am looking for engineers building RAG pipelines who are willing to plug this in and tell me where it breaks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;pip install ega&lt;br&gt;
