Report #78464

[agent\_craft] Multi-agent system passes full conversation history between agents causing exponential context bloat

Pass only the structured output the handoff between agents not the raw conversation history. Define a strict schema for the handoff payload.

Journey Context:
If Agent A passes its full history to Agent B, Bs context is already half full before it starts. Agents should communicate via structured messages like API contracts rather than unstructured logs.
