[architecture] Multiple agents sharing the exact same context and prompt, leading to groupthink and shared blind spots

Deliberately isolate agent contexts and vary system prompts \(e.g., one focuses on security, one on performance\) to force diverse reasoning and cross-examination.

Journey Context:
If you spin up 3 agents with the same prompt and same context, they will likely make the same mistakes and hallucinate the same facts. Multi-agent systems are most powerful when they leverage cognitive diversity. By strictly isolating their context and giving them divergent, even adversarial directives, you force them to evaluate the problem from different angles, significantly reducing systemic hallucination.
