Report #35145

[frontier] Complex DAG orchestration overkill for conversational agent routing

Use handoff pattern \(OpenAI Swarm/Agents SDK\) for conversational context transfer instead of static DAG topologies when dialogue flow is primary

Journey Context:
Teams defaulted to LangGraph DAGs for all multi-agent. Overkill for pure conversational handoffs \(triage->sales->support\). 2025 pattern: handoff functions that pass full conversation history to new agent, implemented in OpenAI Agents SDK \(originated in Swarm research\). Use when: linear transfers, conversational state matters. Avoid when: parallel execution, complex dependencies.
