So you don't think my suggestion above to let providers assemble and apply batches is workable? I think it requires only one or two extra signals to the provider (via the Type), to mark batch boundaries. Most of the magic would happen in those providers that choose to perform it, and those that don't choose to perform it can just ignore the new signals. The main part of the protocol between the agent core and types/providers remains unchanged. I haven't delved into the details of how exactly it would be implemented, so perhaps there is a show-stopper there, but I'm not seeing a flaw in the basic idea.
