Couldn't we slowly add guardrails that eventually lead to code generation becoming more and more deterministic over time?

I'm seeing in my experience that Claude has become better with every version at producing uniformity in its code output. Especially where the architecture is clear and documented. And even more so in languages with built in uniformity (Go, HTMX, SQL) where there is intentionally only one or two ways of doing things. In such environments, the output is nearly deterministic.
