Report #68993

[frontier] Agents parsing free-text output from other agents via regex causing brittle integration failures

Enforce strict JSON Schema output contracts between agents using Structured Outputs API, treating schemas as compile-time interface definitions

Journey Context:
Multi-agent systems often pass unstructured text between nodes, requiring fragile parsing. Modern APIs support strict structured outputs \(JSON Schema\). Frontier practitioners now treat these schemas as compile-time contracts between agent nodes, similar to gRPC proto files. This eliminates parsing errors, enables static validation of agent chains, and allows type-safe code generation for agent interactions, critical for reliable multi-agent coding systems.
