Don't Let the Model Write the YAML: Deterministic, Minimal-Diff GitOps Remediation from LLM-Proposed Field Changes

LLM agents increasingly diagnose incidents and propose remediations. In a GitOps workflow, applying a fix means editing a version-controlled config file, and the obvious implementation, having the model author the edited file or a diff, is what practitioners reach for first. Evaluating that choice on real Kubernetes manifests, we find no text-generation strategy is safe for unattended automation. Unified diffs are unsafe: under strict patching almost none apply, but that is an artifact, since a tolerant tool (GNU patch) applies 96%, yet silently misapplies about 1 in 7 (14-20%) with no error s
