[synthesis] Multi-agent handoffs silently corrupt data types leading to downstream crashes

Enforce strict JSON Schema validation at the boundary of every agent handoff; never rely on implicit type coercion between agents.

Journey Context:
Agent A generates a loosely typed JSON object \(e.g., a string '123'\). Agent B receives it and passes it to Agent C without validation. Agent C expects an integer and crashes with a missing field error because it tries to access a property on the string. The crash log is misleading. This synthesizes LLM JSON generation variability with microservices contract testing, showing how missing boundary validation creates a 'telephone game' of data corruption.
