Paper identifies 'visual orchestration tax': in agentic VLM pipelines, the same static image is repeatedly reconstructed as image-conditioned requests across specialist agents, causing 66.8-75.6% touch redundancy. Proposes audit metrics (M1, M2) and SharedVisCache, a contract-aware reuse hook that preserves outputs while reducing physical-layer vision calls 4x.

Names a measurable redundancy mode in multi-agent VLM stacks and ships a contract-checked cache that cuts compute calls without changing outputs. Useful before scaling agent count.
