Report #41005

[synthesis] Structured output schema rejected by API due to additionalProperties or optional fields

Programmatically transform all JSON schemas to set additionalProperties: false and move all optional fields into required before submitting to OpenAI. For Claude, rely on prompt-based schema enforcement.

Journey Context:
OpenAI's structured output engine requires strict JSON Schema semantics for deterministic parsing, rejecting schemas with optional fields or additional properties. Claude uses flexible LLM-native schema adherence. An agent writing schemas for both will fail on OpenAI if it writes Claude-style flexible schemas, so schemas must be normalized per provider.
