[architecture] Parallel agents deadlock waiting for each other's output

Model multi-agent dependencies as a Directed Acyclic Graph \(DAG\) rather than imperative mutual calls, ensuring agents only pull from completed upstream nodes.

Journey Context:
When Agent A and Agent B need each other's output to proceed, they deadlock. Imperative orchestration hides these cycles. A DAG forces you to explicitly declare dependencies upfront. If a cycle is detected at graph build time, it is rejected, guaranteeing that execution will always progress to completion.
