Report #92666

[architecture] Unstructured text passing between agents causes cascading parsing failures

Enforce strict JSON Schema contracts at agent boundaries using structured output generation and validate before routing; loop back with validation errors on failure.

Journey Context:
Agents passing freeform text often hallucinate formats, causing downstream agents to fail parsing. Prompt engineering is fragile, and regex extraction is brittle. JSON schema validation at the boundary provides a hard contract. If validation fails, the error is fed back to the generating agent, creating a self-healing loop without human intervention.
