[synthesis] Tool call parameters gradually drift from valid schema over multi-turn sessions without triggering validation errors

Implement cryptographic schema hashing between turns; reject tool calls where parameter set hash mismatches the canonical schema signature, forcing atomic schema adherence across session boundaries

Journey Context:
Standard validation catches syntax errors but misses semantic drift where agents hallucinate new parameters that 'look correct' in context. Common mistake is JSON Schema validation only at parse time; but agents generate parameters that satisfy the schema yet violate the API contract \(e.g., adding a 'reasoning' field to every tool call\). The hash check prevents the entropy accumulation that occurs in attention mechanisms over long contexts, which no single validation layer catches because each individual call looks valid.
