Report #65218

[architecture] Parallel agents drift away from the original user goal because they optimize for their local sub-task at the expense of the global objective

Inject the immutable global objective and strict acceptance criteria into every sub-agent's system prompt, and implement a deterministic goal-check step before merging parallel outputs.

Journey Context:
When a task is split across parallel agents \(e.g., one writes frontend, one writes backend\), they often make conflicting assumptions \(e.g., different API schemas\). They optimize locally. Simply merging their outputs causes integration failures. By embedding the global contract \(e.g., the OpenAPI spec\) into both agents' prompts and enforcing a deterministic validation step post-merge, you align local optimization with global success.
