Report #41440

[architecture] Agent outputs drift from requirements or hallucinate facts, which are then propagated as truth down the chain

Implement a dual-agent Generator-Verifier pattern. After Agent A produces an output, pass only the output and the original constraints to Agent B \(the Verifier\) to check for compliance before passing the result to Agent C.

Journey Context:
Self-correction \(asking an agent to verify its own work\) is notoriously unreliable because the agent is biased toward its own reasoning. A separate Verifier agent, given only the constraints and the output \(not the Generator's chain of thought\), acts as an objective auditor. The tradeoff is doubling the LLM inference cost and latency, but it drastically reduces hallucination propagation in pipelines where accuracy is paramount.
