Report #36768

[frontier] Multi-agent systems lose state or create loops during agent delegation

Implement handoff functions that return HandoffResult objects with explicit context transfer, not just string delegation

Journey Context:
Ad-hoc delegation passes unstructured strings, causing context loss. Structured handoffs capture the full conversation state, tool results, and agent metadata in a typed object. This prevents the telephone game effect in multi-agent chains and enables precise audit trails.
