CogniConsole: Externalizing Inference-Time Control as a Formal Abstraction for Reliable LLM Interactions
We challenge this by demonstrating that reliability is significantly influenced by \emph{inference-time control} -- the computational layer governing task framing and context selection. We introduce \emph{CogniConsole}, an architectural instantiation that externalizes this control into a structured interface combining programmatic coordination with bounded prompt-based reasoning. Through \emph{controllability-oriented probes} ($N=489$) in a multi-step interactive environment, we show that increasing structural scaffolding -- from unstructured to fully scaffolded -- \textbf{systematically reduces output variance and failure rates under a fixed model architecture}.
