Report #2360

[architecture] Agent handoffs lose critical state, forcing the user to repeat themselves

Pass a strictly typed, structured context object \(e.g., JSON schema\) during agent transitions, rather than relying on the receiving agent to infer state from chat history.

Journey Context:
Passing the entire chat history to the next agent is token-expensive and often fails because the new agent doesn't know what to extract. Passing no history loses the user's intent. A structured handoff payload \(like a summary plus extracted entities\) guarantees the receiving agent has exactly the variables it needs to act, reducing hallucination and cost.
