Report #68771

[frontier] Agents only produce text, requiring frontend to hardcode UI for every possible output

Stream Generative UI by having agents output JSON schemas that map to React components, enabling dynamic interface generation that adapts to data structure

Journey Context:
Traditional agents return markdown or text, forcing UIs to parse and render blindly. Frontier patterns use structured outputs \(Zod/OpenAI structured mode\) to return component definitions—like \`\{component: 'Chart', props: \{data\}\}\`—which the frontend renders as React Server Components. This creates truly adaptive interfaces where the agent decides the best visualization, not the developer.
