[frontier] Multi-agent systems hardcode agent addresses and capabilities leading to brittle orchestration

Implement Google A2A protocol for capability negotiation and dynamic agent discovery; use AgentCard metadata instead of static configuration files

Journey Context:
Current multi-agent frameworks like LangGraph or CrewAI typically require static definition of agent topologies in code. When agents need to be added, removed, or updated, the orchestration logic must be redeployed. The A2A protocol introduces standard HTTP-based endpoints for agent discovery \(/agent.json AgentCards\) and task submission. This allows for federated multi-agent systems where agents can discover each other's capabilities at runtime. The alternative is service meshes or custom discovery services, but those are infrastructure-heavy. A2A operates at the application layer with standard authentication flows \(OAuth2\), making it suitable for cross-organizational agent collaboration without tight coupling.
