[architecture] Single-agent self-correction fails because the agent is blind to its own logical fallacies

Implement a separate 'Critic' or 'Verifier' agent with a distinct system prompt that evaluates the 'Generator' agent's output against the original constraints before passing it to the next stage.

Journey Context:
Asking an LLM to 'check your work' rarely works because it suffers from the same context and reasoning limitations. A separate agent, ideally using a different model or temperature, breaks the confirmation bias. Tradeoff: doubles latency and token cost, but significantly reduces hallucination propagation in multi-step chains.
