Most multi-agent failures I've seen don't happen inside an agent. Probabilistic output, consequential action An LLM output is probabilistic. Execute the action only on an accepted contract. Record the handoff version and validation result. The rule Every probabilistic step that feeds a consequential action needs an explicit validation gate.
