[architecture] Implementing peer-to-peer agent communication resulting in N^2 routing complexity and chaotic interactions

Use a Hub-and-Spoke \(Orchestrator\) topology for deterministic workflows; reserve Peer-to-Peer \(Group Chat\) only for highly exploratory tasks.

Journey Context:
P2P agent communication seems flexible but leads to unpredictable behavior, infinite loops, and an N^2 integration problem. Hub-and-Spoke centralizes routing logic, making the system deterministic, auditable, and easier to debug. The orchestrator acts as the single source of truth for workflow state.
