Report #75936

[architecture] Agents pass unstructured or loosely typed JSON to each other, causing downstream parsing failures

Enforce strict schema contracts \(e.g., JSON Schema\) at the agent boundary, validating both structure and required semantic fields before accepting the message.

Journey Context:
LLMs often hallucinate extra fields or omit required ones. Relying on prompt-only contracts fails silently. Structural validation catches syntax errors, but you also need semantic validators \(e.g., 'status must be one of A, B, C'\) to prevent logical drift. The tradeoff is added latency and strictness, but it prevents cascading failures in multi-agent chains.
