[synthesis] Agent outputs pass validation but solve the wrong problem

Implement semantic invariant checks \(e.g., embedding distance between goal and action taken\) alongside schema validation.

Journey Context:
Teams rely on JSON schema or Pydantic validation to catch agent failures. However, an LLM can perfectly format a response that completely ignores a key constraint. This is semantic drift. You need to check if the intent of the output matches the intent of the input, not just the shape.
