Report #15039

[architecture] Central orchestrator agent executes every step of a plan sequentially, becoming a slow, expensive bottleneck

Decouple orchestration from execution; use the orchestrator strictly for planning and delegating to worker agents, forcing workers to return only the result/final state.

Journey Context:
It is tempting to have the smartest model do everything. But orchestration is just routing. If the orchestrator executes, you pay high latency and token costs for trivial tasks. Tradeoff: less centralized control over intermediate execution steps, but massive speed and cost improvements.
