Report #3681

[architecture] Agents failing to parse each other's outputs due to ambiguous natural language

Enforce structured JSON schema for all inter-agent communication; reserve natural language strictly for human-facing outputs.

Journey Context:
LLMs are prone to hallucination and formatting drift. When Agent A sends free-text to Agent B, B's parser often breaks. Structured schemas act as a strict contract. The tradeoff is slightly more rigid design and upfront schema definition, but it prevents cascading parsing errors and makes state serialization trivial across the pipeline.
