Report #85258

[frontier] Agent outputs fail downstream validation causing cascading errors in multi-step pipelines

Use Pydantic AI with strict result\_type validation on all agent outputs before passing to next step

Journey Context:
String outputs from agents are fragile and require regex parsing. Pydantic AI enforces type-safe contracts where agents must return validated Pydantic models, catching schema violations immediately rather than downstream. This pattern is replacing unstructured text passing in production agent pipelines.
