Report #11334

[agent\_craft] Multi-agent systems share the entire context window between agents, causing confusion and token bloat

Isolate context between specialized agents. During handoffs, pass only a structured task brief \(goal, current state, constraints\) rather than the raw conversation history.

Journey Context:
If a Coder agent sees the Planner agent's internal deliberations, it gets confused or distracted by outdated alternatives. Full history handoffs also multiply token usage exponentially. By forcing a structured handoff \(like an API contract\), you ensure the receiving agent gets exactly what it needs to act, maintaining a clean, focused context window.
