Report #7168

[architecture] Passing the entire raw conversation history between agents causing context window overflow and cost explosions

Use structured state objects that pass only the operational delta or required task parameters, rather than the full chat history, when handing off between agents.

Journey Context:
Chat history is mostly filler \('Ok', 'Let's try that'\). Agents only need the current task parameters and the outcome of the previous step. Stripping history saves tokens and focuses the receiving LLM. The tradeoff is that the LLM might lose subtle user preferences expressed early on if they aren't explicitly extracted into the state object during the handoff.
