Story

Context inconsistency, not pattern choice, is the main reason multi-agent pipelines fail. One agent's malformed output silently corrupts everything downstream. Validate each inter-agent handoff with Pydantic or Zod before passing it on. This single discipline kills most cascade failures, and it's an afternoon of work.
