[synthesis] Agent output passes strict JSON schema validation but contains generic or low-value semantic content

Implement an automated semantic diff evaluator using a smaller, cheap model to score the information density of structured outputs against a golden set, running on a sampled percentage of traffic.

Journey Context:
Engineering teams celebrate when they achieve 100% JSON schema compliance using structured output features. However, an agent under context pressure or subtle prompt drift will start filling required fields with generic filler rather than specific data. Schema validation returns 200 OK, but downstream consumers get useless data. Only a secondary semantic check catches this hollowing out.
