Report #94798

[synthesis] Agent produces incorrect outputs after several successful tool calls without code changes

Implement schema fingerprinting validation between steps; re-validate tool output schemas against canonical definitions every N steps or when confidence drops

Journey Context:
Developers assume that if a tool call succeeds once, the schema is stable. However, in long-running agents, backend APIs can deploy new versions mid-session, or context window compression can strip schema hints. The common fix of "retry on error" misses silent schema evolution. Fingerprinting catches drift before reasoning corrupts.
