 "title": "Reject malformed AI output before your app uses it",
 "page_title": "How to reject malformed AI output before your app uses it with Rulora",
 "summary": "Run a structural check on model output so missing fields and unknown references stop early.",
 "who": "A backend developer whose app parses model JSON and fails when a required field is missing or a reference is wrong.",
 "problem": "Model output can be malformed or incomplete, and the app only finds out after it has already acted on the data.",
 "outcome": "Malformed output is rejected at the boundary with a clear result, and only output that passes the check is passed on.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Node.js 20 or newer.",
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/Buffalo2024/Rulora.git`",
  "Run `cd Rulora`",
  "Run `npm ci --ignore-scripts`",
  "Run `npm run example:output` and read which cases were rejected."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the Rulora repo cloned into <target-dir>, run `npm ci --ignore-scripts` and then `npm run example:output`. Report which sample outputs were rejected and why. Verify that the case with a missing field is rejected, not accepted.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The boundary checks structure only, so a well-formed answer can still be factually wrong and the README says evidence and business rules need your own validators.",
