In production multi-agent clusters, a hallucination from a single node can quickly act like a software contagion, spreading through shared memory and corrupting downstream tasks. To stop this cascading failure, engineers must implement a Circuit Breaker Pattern for semantic data. By routing all agent outputs through independent transaction managers, enforcing hard validation schemas, and requiring verified source citations before updating shared states, you isolate individual node errors and maintain total cluster integrity.
