Report #24208

[frontier] Multi-agent systems suffer ambiguous routing causing infinite loops

Implement Supervisor with structured output routing: Supervisor emits JSON with next\_agent field validated by Pydantic, never free text decisions

Journey Context:
Free text routing leads to hallucinated agent names or I will now hand off loops. Robust pattern: Supervisor sees all outputs plus task. It MUST emit JSON matching RouterSchema \{next\_agent: Literal\[agent\_a, agent\_b, FINISH\], reasoning: str\}. Use structured output binding. Creates deterministic graph edges from stochastic LLM. Prevents 90% of routing loops.
