[frontier] Agent-to-agent communication breaking due to schema drift and runtime validation errors in multi-agent systems

Enforce Structured Generation as Interface Contracts between agents. Define all inter-agent messages as Pydantic Python or Zod TypeScript schemas. Generate JSONSchema from types and use instructor pattern or native function calling to force LLM outputs to validate against schema at generation time not post-hoc.

Journey Context:
Agents calling each other pass unstructured strings leading to parsing failures. Solution: treat agent boundaries like API microservices. Define Pydantic models for all messages. Use instructor library to ensure LLM outputs match schema. Enables compile-time checking in typed languages and automatic retries on validation failure. Failures become typed errors not crashes. Critical for multi-agent systems where three or more agents chain outputs.
