[research] Context loss or schema mismatch during agent-to-agent handoffs

Implement boundary evals that specifically validate the payload schema and semantic completeness of the message passed between agents. Treat the handoff as a strict API contract, not just a chat message.

Journey Context:
In multi-agent systems, agents often pass unstructured strings to each other. The receiving agent might miss key context \(like an ID or a constraint\) because the sending agent summarized it poorly. By treating the handoff as an API and evaluating the exact payload passed at the boundary, you catch routing and summarization failures before the next agent even starts.
