[architecture] Agent handoffs drop critical historical context, forcing the receiving agent to ask the user to repeat information

Pass a curated 'handoff context' object \(summaries \+ key entities\) alongside the routing instruction, rather than just the last message.

Journey Context:
Naive handoffs just pass the latest utterance. The new agent lacks the history to act. Passing the entire history is too expensive and floods the context window. Summarization \+ structured entity extraction at the moment of handoff bridges the gap, giving the new agent exactly what it needs without the noise.
