Report #52843

[architecture] Agents losing critical context during handoffs, resulting in the next agent asking the user for information already provided

Pass a strictly typed, accumulated context object \(e.g., a session state dictionary\) during handoffs rather than relying on the raw conversation history alone.

Journey Context:
Passing the entire chat history to a new agent is expensive \(token cost\) and noisy \(distracting instructions from previous personas\). Passing no history means the new agent is blind. The solution is a distilled, accumulated state object \(like a session bag\) that travels with the agent handoff. The LLM updates this object during its run, and the next agent receives it as its initial variables, ensuring zero-loss state transfer without context window bloat.
