[architecture] Schema validation passes semantically incorrect agent outputs, propagating logic errors down the chain

Implement a lightweight Verifier agent \(LLM-as-a-judge\) that evaluates the output against the original goal and rubric before passing it to the next agent in the chain.

Journey Context:
Schema validation catches syntax errors, but not semantic ones. If Agent A writes a function with the right signature but an infinite loop, Agent B will fail. A Verifier agent checks semantic correctness. Tradeoff: doubles the LLM calls and increases latency for the step, but drastically reduces error propagation in long chains where late-stage failures are exponentially more expensive to debug.
