[architecture] Agents communicating via unstructured natural language causing hallucinated parameters and parsing failures

Enforce structured JSON schemas for all inter-agent messages and handoffs, defining exact fields for intent, parameters, and context.

Journey Context:
While natural language seems flexible for LLM-to-LLM chat, it introduces non-determinism. The receiving agent must extract structured data from prose, leading to high failure rates. Strict schema contracts force the sending agent to output machine-readable state, making the system robust, debuggable, and resistant to hallucination cascades.
