Report #24586

[frontier] Hierarchical multi-agent trees creating bottlenecks at root nodes

Use cyclic graph topologies \(agents as nodes, edges as communication channels\) with shared memory pools, enabling peer-to-peer negotiation without central orchestrator

Journey Context:
Tree structures \(manager-delegate\) bottleneck when root agent gets overwhelmed. Production swarms use graph topologies \(AutoGen, CrewAI advanced\) where agents communicate via pub/sub or shared memory. Cycles enable consensus mechanisms \(voting, auctions\) for task allocation.
