Report #13178

[research] Multi-agent systems hallucinate or lose context during agent-to-agent handoffs

Inject an evaluator step at the handoff boundary. Before Agent B starts, an LLM-as-a-judge or rule-based check must verify the passed payload contains all required parameters and no contradictions from Agent A's output.

Journey Context:
In multi-agent frameworks, agents passing messages often drop critical state or hallucinate parameters because Agent A assumes Agent B knows the context. Evaluating only the final output makes debugging impossible. Adding a lightweight validation/eval step at the handoff boundary acts as a circuit breaker, catching context loss exactly where it happens rather than at the end of a long, expensive trace.
