Report #79796

[frontier] Runtime type errors in agent data flows cause silent failures and corrupted state

Adopt PydanticAI to enforce type safety at agent boundaries with validated dependencies and structured outputs

Journey Context:
Early agent frameworks used dynamic dicts for state and tool outputs, causing runtime KeyErrors and type mismatches. PydanticAI \(by the Pydantic team\) provides a type-safe framework where agent inputs, outputs, and dependencies are validated Pydantic models. This catches integration errors at development time, ensures structured outputs conform to schemas, and provides dependency injection for testable agents, critical for production codebases.
