Report #24206
[frontier] Hard-coded agent DAGs fail when task requirements emerge dynamically
Adopt dynamic swarm topology: agents register capabilities to shared bus; tasks grabbed by capable agents with handoff protocols and shared thread state
Journey Context:
Static DAGs \(A→B→C\) break when B needs to loop back to A or C needs parallel instantiation. Pattern: decentralized swarms using handoff protocol. Agents expose capability schema. Orchestrator routes tasks or peers discover each other. Dynamic: Agent 1 can spawn 3 instances of Agent 2 in parallel, then reduce results. Critical: shared thread state/context passing between handoffs.
