Report #64609

[synthesis] Cross-model agent fails because OpenAI rejects the JSON schema that Anthropic accepts

Always define \`additionalProperties: false\` on all objects in your schema and explicitly list all required fields. Do not rely on default behavior.

Journey Context:
OpenAI's Structured Outputs feature enforces strict schema adherence and requires \`additionalProperties: false\` to be explicitly set, throwing an API error if missing. Anthropic's tool use is more lenient, ignoring extra properties by default and not requiring the explicit \`false\` flag. When writing a single schema for a multi-model agent, omitting this flag causes silent failures on Anthropic \(allowing extra data\) and hard errors on OpenAI.
