Report #41139

[architecture] Context window poisoning from full chat history passed between agents

Isolate context windows: pass only structured extracts \(e.g., JSON summaries\) between agents, never the raw full conversation history; use 'Lost in the Middle' aware ordering if context must be summarized.

Journey Context:
Passing the entire Agent A transcript to Agent B seems to preserve context, but B's reasoning degrades due to position bias and noise. The alternative—naive truncation—loses critical early instructions. The fix requires explicit information architecture: Agent A distills its output to a schema-defined summary before handoff.
