[architecture] Multi-agent natural language chat leads to hallucinated parameters and cascading misinterpretation

Use structured-schema messaging \(e.g., JSON Schema\) for inter-agent communication; reserve natural language only for user-facing interfaces.

Journey Context:
Developers assume LLMs talking to LLMs should just chat via free-form text. But LLMs are probabilistic; free-form chat introduces noise, missing fields, and format drift between agents. Structured schemas enforce contracts, allow programmatic validation, and prevent cascading parsing errors down the chain. Tradeoff: slightly higher setup cost for schema definition vs massive debugging cost for parsing failures in production pipelines.
