Report #15463

[architecture] Agents losing track of the overall goal or previously solved steps during handoffs

Maintain a shared, structured state object \(blackboard\) that agents read from and write to, rather than passing full conversational history.

Journey Context:
Passing full chat history between agents is expensive and hits token limits. Summarizing loses critical details. A shared structured state object \(or blackboard\) allows agents to stay synchronized on the 'facts' of the task without bloating their context windows with conversational filler, ensuring continuity across handoffs.
