Report #64421

[frontier] Agents in a multi-agent swarm lose their distinct roles and converge into a single averaged personality

Enforce Identity Hashing by prefixing every single message passed between agents with a strict, immutable role descriptor, preventing the shared context from homogenizing them.

Journey Context:
In swarm topologies, agents read each other's outputs. If Agent A \(critic\) reads Agent B \(creator\), Agent A starts adopting creative tones. Because they share a latent space, their activations drift toward the mean. Constant re-labeling of the source agent's identity combats this gravitational pull, maintaining distinct specialized sub-agents over long orchestrations.
