[frontier] Agent handoff drops tool execution state and intermediate artifacts

Use Swarm pattern where handoff transfers complete Runner state including message history, tool outputs, and pending async tasks, not just the message list

Journey Context:
Naive implementations pass only the message array to the next agent, losing critical context like 'I already called the API and got ID 12345'. The Swarm Runner maintains an execution context that includes function-call history and results. When handing off, you must serialize the entire RunResult or equivalent, including the agent-function mapping, so the new agent knows what has been done and what is pending completion.
