Report #81383

[architecture] Cascading parsing errors from free-form inter-agent messaging

Use structured JSON schemas for all inter-agent communication and handoffs instead of natural language strings.

Journey Context:
While LLMs speak natural language, relying on it for machine-to-machine agent communication causes hallucinated parameters and brittle parsing. Structured schemas enforce a strict contract, making context transfer reliable and programmatically verifiable, reducing the error surface area between agents.
