Report #94611

[architecture] Agents failing to parse context passed via free-form natural language

Use structured schemas \(JSON Schema/Pydantic\) for all inter-agent messages and handoff parameters.

Journey Context:
Passing free-form text between agents seems flexible but leads to hallucinated fields, missing parameters, and infinite clarification loops. Structured schemas act as strict contracts between agents, ensuring the receiving agent gets exactly the typed data it needs to proceed.
