[frontier] How to prevent context pollution when delegating between specialized agents

Use OpenAI Swarm pattern with explicit handoff functions that pass only summarized context, not full message history; enforce isolation between agent contexts.

Journey Context:
Multi-agent systems fail when sub-agents see irrelevant history. Swarm \(OpenAI\) demonstrated that explicit handoffs with context filtering beat shared-memory blackboards. Alternative: RAG for context \(too slow\). Pattern: each agent has isolated memory, receives only task-specific payload.
