Report #43608

[frontier] Agents communicate via unstructured text, causing parsing failures and 'jailbreak' vulnerabilities when output format instructions are ignored or hallucinated

Use constrained generation libraries \(Outlines, Guidance\) to enforce Pydantic schemas at the token level; treat JSON Schema as the Application Binary Interface between agents with strict validation at service boundaries

Journey Context:
Early agents used 'please respond in JSON' prompting, which fails under pressure or can be ignored by the model. The frontier pattern \(2025\) treats schema as a compile-time guarantee. Libraries like Outlines use logits masking to force valid JSON at generation time—invalid tokens are impossible to produce. This shifts inter-agent communication from 'parse and pray' to type-safe RPC. The Pydantic models become the contract, and violations are caught at generation, not validation.
