[architecture] Fully decentralized agents coordinating via broadcast channels leading to chaotic interactions

Use a centralized orchestrator \(conductor\) pattern for deterministic workflows. Reserve decentralized broadcast patterns strictly for open-ended brainstorming where no defined goal state exists.

Journey Context:
Agents talking to agents sounds elegant, but non-deterministic LLMs making non-deterministic routing decisions leads to unreproducible bugs and infinite loops. A centralized orchestrator ensures the state machine progresses predictably toward a goal, even if the orchestrator itself is an LLM selecting the next node.
