Would it not be better to ask the LLM to generate the status key last, since it cannot know ahead of generation whether the generation will actually be successful?
Yes, you are right. Not to be too snide about it but this is not optimal.
You get provably better performance if you let the thing analyze the situation / think through the problem / whatever before letting it commit to choosing a status like that.
