Report #42545

[architecture] Inability to verify or reproduce agent outputs after the fact

Store all agent outputs in a content-addressed store \(IPFS/CAS\) passing only CIDs \(Content Identifiers\) between agents; verify content hash matches CID before processing to ensure integrity without trusting the transport layer

Journey Context:
Passing raw JSON through message buses or queues risks corruption or substitution with no audit trail. Content addressing \(hashing\) provides immutable references—if the content changes, the CID changes. If Agent B receives a CID, it can verify the content against the hash, ensuring exactly what Agent A produced is processed. This also enables natural deduplication and reproducible pipelines for debugging.
