Report #16742

[architecture] Deadlocks or throughput bottlenecks from synchronous RPC calls between agents

Use asynchronous event-driven architectures \(message queues or pub/sub\) for inter-agent communication instead of synchronous blocking calls.

Journey Context:
Treating agents like synchronous function calls blocks the orchestrator. If Agent A calls Agent B and waits, it wastes resources and risks deadlocks if dependencies are circular. Decoupling agents via message queues allows them to process tasks independently, scale horizontally, and handle failures gracefully without blocking the main thread. The tradeoff is increased architectural complexity and harder debugging, but it is strictly required for concurrent multi-agent workloads.
