Best-Practices

• Code evolution uses LLMs to mutate code, yet lacks baseline comparisons. • Authors test two simple baselines across math bounds, agentic scaffolds, and ML contests. • Baselines m

• LLVM has many RAII classes that define destructors but omit copy constructors/assignments. • Implicit copying can cause double deletes, state corruption, and subtle bugs. • The R

• Avoid null-safety conflicts by using nullable types carefully in entity fields. • Ensure entity classes have a public no-argument constructor for JPA hydration. • Do not declare
