Report #94077

[architecture] Unstructured string passing between agents causes downstream parsing failures

Enforce strict JSON Schema validation at agent boundaries using structured outputs, rejecting non-conforming outputs at the orchestrator level before routing to the next agent.

Journey Context:
LLMs are probabilistic; assuming they always output valid JSON or follow implicit formats fails silently until a downstream agent crashes. Pydantic/JSON Schema acts as a hard contract, forcing the generating agent to retry or the orchestrator to catch the error early, preventing cascading malformations across the chain.
