Those problems map extremely well to agent loops. Take a cheap model (like Luna, which can basically run all the time on a Codex subscription, or V4.1 Flash), give it a goal like <1% pixel difference between it's own implementation and what the oracle produces, and it can run for hours or days probing the oracle, verifying it's progress and handling edge case after edge cast until it's effectively perfect.
Key idea is to remove the human from the loop.
Don't let the agent build something, tell you what it did and you point out all the issues. It does not scale, leads to fatigue and impatience and limited uptime for the agent. Build clear verifier loops the agent can rely on, let it run and such edge cases are well within reach.
