Report #16959

[architecture] Wrong agent speaking out of turn or dominating the conversation in a multi-agent group chat

Use an LLM-driven or rule-based speaker selection function to explicitly determine the next agent, rather than relying on round-robin or unstructured auto-reply.

Journey Context:
In a naive group chat, agents reply in a strict round-robin, or every agent evaluates if they should speak, leading to irrelevant interruptions or dead air. The solution is a centralized router \(a speaker selection agent or function\) that reviews the last message and the available agents, and explicitly selects the single best agent to respond next. This reduces latency, prevents conflicting actions, and keeps the conversation focused.
