[architecture] Multi-agent systems陷入 infinite delegation loops where agents pass tasks back and forth without progress

Implement a strictly decreasing resource budget \(e.g., max\_depth or max\_delegations\) on the execution context, or enforce a Directed Acyclic Graph \(DAG\) topology for agent handoffs.

Journey Context:
Agents often delegate when uncertain. Without a global depth limit, Agent A delegates to B, B to A. A DAG ensures unidirectional flow, but a depth budget is more flexible for dynamic routing. The tradeoff is that strict depth limits might prematurely terminate valid deep-recursive workflows, but preventing infinite loops \(and token drain\) is paramount.
