[research] Multi-agent handoffs lose context or hallucinate tool arguments

Implement trace-level evals that score the trajectory of the agent, specifically checking that the context passed between agents matches a predefined schema and doesn't contain fabricated data.

Journey Context:
In multi-agent systems, agents pass control via function calls. A common failure is an agent passing a summarized or hallucinated version of the state to the next agent. Final-output evals miss this because the last agent might guess the missing info. Trajectory evals inspect the intermediate handoff messages to ensure strict schema adherence.
