[architecture] Agents passing free-form natural language messages causing parsing failures and hallucination cascades

Enforce structured JSON schemas for all inter-agent communication. Natural language should be strictly bounded within specific schema fields \(e.g., \{"status": "success", "summary": "natural text here", "data": \{\}\}\).

Journey Context:
Allowing agents to chat freely feels intuitive but leads to non-deterministic outputs that the receiving agent fails to parse, or worse, prompt injection cascades. Structured schemas allow programmatic validation of handoffs before the receiving agent even reads the message, ensuring state integrity and reliable routing.
