[research] Only evaluating the final output of a multi-agent workflow

Implement trace-level evals specifically at agent handoff points. Assert that the passed context contains the required keys and that the receiving agent's first action logically follows the passed intent.

Journey Context:
In multi-agent systems, a bad handoff—where Agent A omits a critical variable like user\_id when transferring to Agent B—causes cascading failures that are hard to trace from the final output alone. Evaluating the context payload at the transition boundary isolates routing/context bugs from reasoning bugs.
