Report #68592

[architecture] Transferring the entire conversational context and internal monologue during agent handoffs

Summarize the state and extract only the actionable payload into a structured context object before routing to the next agent.

Journey Context:
Context windows fill up rapidly. Passing full histories leads to distraction, higher token costs, and degraded reasoning in the receiving agent. The receiving agent only needs the outcome of the previous agent's work, not the step-by-step thought process.
