Report #95574

[frontier] Type safety failures and context loss in multi-agent task delegation

Use structured handoffs with Pydantic models for typed message schemas and explicit context passing between agents

Journey Context:
Naive multi-agent systems pass strings between agents, causing context loss, type errors, and inability to trace data lineage. Structured handoffs enforce contracts using Pydantic models, ensuring type safety and preserving execution context across agent boundaries. This enables static analysis of agent communication graphs, prevents silent failures from type mismatches, and supports refactoring agent networks without breaking message contracts.
