Report #86877

[synthesis] Agent outputs structurally valid but semantically outdated JSON after an API version bump

Implement semantic diffing of API documentation on a schedule, and automatically inject deprecation warnings into the agent's system prompt when downstream schemas change, rather than waiting for 400 Bad Request errors.

Journey Context:
APIs evolve. A field changes from 'status: active' to 'state: ACTIVE'. If the API maintains backward compatibility for a while, it might accept the old format but route differently, or silently drop the old field. The agent continues generating the old schema. No HTTP errors are thrown, but the downstream system behaves sub-optimally \(e.g., sets default values instead of intended values\). The agent's success metrics \(no crashes\) look fine. The degradation is semantic, not syntactic, and requires proactive schema monitoring rather than reactive error tracking.
