Report #10178

[architecture] Combinatorial explosion of routing logic and prompt bloat in peer-to-peer agent networks

Use a hub-and-spoke \(orchestrator\) topology where a central supervisor manages all routing and context aggregation, keeping worker agents completely isolated from each other.

Journey Context:
P2P topologies seem flexible but require every agent to know the capabilities and prompts of all other agents, rapidly consuming the context window. Hub-and-spoke centralizes the routing logic into one agent. Worker agents only need to know their own system prompt and the supervisor's requests, drastically reducing token usage and prompt complexity.
