Report #94190

[architecture] Agent B is hallucinating because it received the entire raw context/history from Agent A

Implement context distillation at handoff: summarize the previous agent's history into a concise, structured handoff payload rather than passing the full conversation history.

Journey Context:
Passing full history between agents causes context window bloat, increases latency/cost, and degrades performance due to attention dilution. Agents only need the outcome of the previous step, not the step-by-step reasoning. Distill the state into a standardized 'handoff schema' before transferring control to keep the context lean and focused.
