[architecture] Passing full conversational history between agents causes context window bloat and cascading hallucinations

Implement a shared structured state object \(blackboard\) where agents read and write deltas, rather than appending full message histories during handoffs.

Journey Context:
Appending histories scales token count quadratically and forces the receiving agent to parse irrelevant chatter. A shared state object allows agents to read only the specific fields they need. Tradeoff: agents lose implicit conversational nuance, but gain reliability, reduce costs, and prevent context overflow.
