Report #3544

[architecture] Agents in a swarm can't discover each other's capabilities

Maintain a capability registry with versioned schemas and health status; agents query it before delegation rather than hard-coding addresses.

Journey Context:
Hard-coding which agent handles what makes the system brittle to change. A capability registry \(similar to service discovery \+ OpenAPI specs\) lets agents find the right handler dynamically. It should include input/output schemas, cost/latency hints, and health. This mirrors Kubernetes service discovery, gRPC reflection, or MCP server listings, but applied to agent-to-agent delegation.
