Report #49734

[architecture] Handed-off agent loses context of the conversation history and asks the user to repeat information

Pass a strictly defined, serialized 'context object' \(state variables\) during handoffs rather than raw chat history, and inject it into the receiving agent's system prompt.

Journey Context:
Passing full chat histories between agents bloats the context window, increases cost, and dilutes the signal with irrelevant conversational turns. By distilling the history into a structured context object \(e.g., user\_intent, resolved\_variables, pending\_actions\), the receiving agent starts with exactly the state it needs. It avoids repetition and operates efficiently without carrying the baggage of the previous agent's reasoning steps.
