Report #42546

[architecture] Capability mismatch when routing to specialized agents

Implement capability discovery using semantic versioning: each agent exposes an OpenAPI spec or capability manifest with version; router agents cache these manifests and validate task compatibility before delegation; reject or route to fallback if major version mismatch detected

Journey Context:
Hardcoding agent capabilities in router logic breaks when agents are updated \(e.g., Agent B v2 drops support for XML input\). Semantic versioning \(semver\) in capability manifests allows routers to determine compatibility \(same major version = compatible\). Without this, you get runtime failures deep in the chain. The manifest should include input/output schemas, supported content types, and required permissions.
