[research] Multi-agent handoffs lose context or hallucinate state

Inject a handoff evaluator that compares the output summary of Agent A with the input context received by Agent B. Assert that key entities \(IDs, names, constraints\) are preserved exactly.

Journey Context:
When Agent A passes a summary to Agent B, it often drops critical variables \(like a specific user\_id or a constraint\). Standard end-to-end evals won't catch this if Agent B hallucinates a plausible workaround. Trace-level handoff evals pinpoint exactly where context compression failed, isolating the faulty prompt.
