Report #59384

[architecture] Silent data corruption or tampering when agents pass large artifacts via shared storage

Use content-addressable storage \(CAS\) where artifacts are keyed by cryptographic hash \(SHA-256\); agents verify hash before processing and sign attestations

Journey Context:
Passing file paths or URLs allows middlemen to modify data. Versioned S3 buckets help but don't prevent corruption in transit. Content-addressing \(like IPFS or OCI image layers\) makes tampering detectable immediately and enables efficient caching. Critical when agents pass intermediate representations \(embeddings, generated code\) that are expensive to regenerate.
