[frontier] Implicit state passing causes type errors and broken agent workflows

Enforce Pydantic-validated state schemas at graph edges to ensure type-safe data flow between agent nodes

Journey Context:
Developers often use dicts to pass state between agent steps, leading to KeyErrors when downstream nodes expect different keys. LangGraph's StateGraph allows defining state as Pydantic models \(or TypedDict\), validating data at compile-time and runtime. This 'state contract' pattern treats agent workflows as typed data pipelines, catching schema mismatches during graph construction rather than in production. Essential for maintaining complex multi-agent systems where state shape evolves rapidly.
