Report #76263

[architecture] Inter-agent natural language communication causes hallucination cascades

Enforce structured JSON schema for all agent-to-agent message payloads; restrict natural language to human-facing inputs/outputs only.

Journey Context:
Developers assume LLMs can parse other LLMs' free-text easily, but unstructured outputs lead to missed fields, ambiguous instructions, and compounding hallucinations across hops. Structured schemas allow programmatic validation, fail-fast on missing data, and decouple parsing from LLM reasoning.
