Review Comment:
   Thanks for catching this — it's a real oversight. I'm currently working on 
the cross-language sub-agent invocation design and ran into the same issue 
there.
   
   The plan is to add `getResult(Class<T>)` backed by 
OBJECT_MAPPER.convertValue. This unifies all three paths where result can 
appear as a LinkedHashMap: durable recovery (Jackson JSON deserialization), 
cross-language sub-agent calls (pemja conversion), and first execution (direct 
cast, no conversion needed). convertValue handles the Map→POJO conversion 
uniformly regardless of the source.
   
   One known limitation: for generic collection payloads like List<Review>, 
both recovery and cross-language paths leave result as ArrayList<LinkedHashMap> 
— getResult(List.class) only returns List<LinkedHashMap>, losing element types. 
A `getResult(TypeReference<T>)` overload can be added later if type-safe 
collections are needed.
