Report #58054

[frontier] Multi-agent system loses tool state and working memory when transferring task between specialized agents

Adopt A2A \(Agent-to-Agent\) protocol: serialize full cognitive state including active tool leases, memory embeddings, and priority flags into a standard handoff envelope; receiving agent deserializes into its context window

Journey Context:
Simple message passing drops critical state like 'file handle X is open' or 'variable Y is locked'. A2A standardizes the handoff envelope so agents can migrate tasks without losing execution context. This is emerging as the standard for enterprise multi-agent orchestration, replacing ad-hoc JSON passing.
