[synthesis] Multi-agent systems produce scope creep or irrelevant implementations despite valid JSON passing between agents

Calculate the cosine similarity between the embedding of the initial user prompt and the final agent's execution plan. If it drops below a threshold, halt the pipeline.

Journey Context:
In multi-agent setups \(e.g., Planner -> Coder -> Reviewer\), agents communicate via structured data \(JSON\). Teams validate the schema passes between agents. However, schema validation ignores semantic drift. The Planner says fix the login bug, the Coder interprets it as refactor the auth module, and the Reviewer approves the refactor. No errors are thrown. The synthesis of information theory and agent orchestration reveals that you must monitor semantic entropy—the distance between the original intent and the current action—across the agent chain, not just schema compliance.
