Report #63007

[architecture] Agents in a pipeline accept previous output as ground truth, allowing subtle errors to compound

Insert a lightweight 'Evaluator' agent \(LLM-as-a-judge\) between processing steps to verify the output against the original intent before passing it to the next worker agent, looping back if the evaluation fails.

Journey Context:
In a multi-agent pipeline \(e.g., Coder -> Reviewer\), if the Coder makes a subtle logic error, the Reviewer might miss it if they trust the Coder's context implicitly. An explicit evaluation step, using a different model or a strictly constrained prompt, acts as a schema-agnostic assertion layer. Tradeoff: doubles the LLM calls and latency for the pipeline, but drastically reduces compounding hallucination and logic drift.
