Report #29791

[frontier] Hierarchical multi-agent systems creating single points of failure in orchestrator agents

Implement mesh topology using 'swarm consensus' where agents publish to a shared event bus \(Redis Streams/MQTT\) and use CRDTs for shared state; eliminate the 'supervisor' node entirely

Journey Context:
The 'Manager -> Worker' pattern \(AutoGen style\) fails when the manager's context window fills or it crashes. Production is moving to peer-to-peer where agents subscribe to event types on a message broker. Key insight: use CRDTs \(Conflict-free Replicated Data Types\) for shared state rather than a central database, allowing agents to work offline and merge state eventually. This eliminates the orchestrator bottleneck.
