[architecture] Central orchestrator sequentially invoking and synthesizing every sub-agent, creating massive latency bottlenecks

Use the orchestrator only for task decomposition and routing. Allow independent sub-agents to execute in parallel and write to isolated state keys. The orchestrator only re-engages for final synthesis.

Journey Context:
Developers often treat the orchestrator as a synchronous loop \(call Agent A, wait, call Agent B, wait\). If sub-tasks are independent, sequential execution wastes time. Tradeoff: Parallel execution requires strict isolation of output state to avoid merge conflicts, and requires the orchestrator to handle variable completion orders.
