[architecture] Syncing state by dumping the entire conversation history of Agent A into Agent B, exhausting the context window

Sync only structured summaries or delta-state artifacts between agents, not raw chat logs. Use a shared memory store that agents query on-demand rather than pushing everything into the context.

Journey Context:
To maintain coherence, developers often pass the full messages array from one agent to another. This is O\(n^2\) token waste in multi-agent systems and introduces distraction \(the 'lost in the middle' problem\). The better pattern is for Agent A to output a concise, structured 'task completion artifact', and Agent B only receives that artifact plus its own instructions. If B needs history, it uses RAG against a shared memory store.
