[research] Multi-agent handoffs lose context or hallucinate state between sub-agents

Implement trace-level span evals specifically on the handoff boundary. Assert that the output context passed to the next agent matches a strict schema and contains no missing required fields from the original prompt.

Journey Context:
In multi-agent systems, agents passing control to each other often drop crucial variables or hallucinate summaries. Standard end-to-end evals just see a failed task. You must evaluate the transitions \(the handoff messages\) as first-class objects, ensuring the context window passed between agents preserves fidelity.
