[architecture] Agents hallucinating parameters when passing context via natural language

Enforce structured-schema \(JSON Schema/Pydantic\) for all inter-agent messaging instead of free-form text.

Journey Context:
LLMs are great at natural language but terrible at strict adherence to implicit contracts. Free-form chat passing leads to missing fields, type errors, and cascading hallucinations as the receiving agent guesses missing data. Structured schemas act as a hard contract, enabling programmatic validation before routing and guaranteeing the receiving agent gets exactly the state it expects.
