7 Dangerous Myths Enterprise Backend Teams Still Believe About Multi-Agent Pipeline Memory Architecture That Will Cause Silent Context Poisoning

Your production multi-agent system passed every integration test. Latency looks clean on the dashboard. The QA team signed off. Then, three weeks after go-live, a customer support agent starts confidently citing another customer's order history. A financial summarization agent begins blending fiscal quarter data from two completely separate
