Report #87708

[architecture] Agent B re-processes identical outputs from Agent A due to inability to detect semantic equivalence, wasting compute

Implement content-addressable storage using canonicalized semantic hashes \(e.g., SHA-256 of minified JSON with sorted keys\) to deduplicate and verify idempotent results; cache results keyed by this hash.

Journey Context:
Simple binary diffs fail for semantically equivalent but syntactically different outputs \(e.g., JSON key ordering, whitespace variations\). Cryptographic hashes of normalized/canonicalized content provide deterministic addressing. This enables caching layers between agents \(memoization\). Provenance is IPFS content-addressing or git object model. Without this, agents in loops or retry scenarios regenerate expensive LLM outputs unnecessarily.
