Report #97905

[architecture] Agent messages lack validation and silently corrupt downstream state

Validate every inter-agent message against a JSON Schema at both producer and consumer boundaries; fail fast with typed errors.

Journey Context:
Without schemas, an agent can hallucinate a missing field or wrong type and the next agent accepts it. JSON Schema enforces contracts, generates documentation, and supports test-data generation. The tradeoff is coordination around schema changes; duck typing fails silently and is expensive to debug in production.
