Report #42755

[architecture] Peer-to-peer agent mesh creates untraceable spaghetti architecture and state synchronization nightmares

Use a hub-and-spoke \(orchestrator/worker\) topology where a central agent manages all handoffs, aggregates results, and maintains global state.

Journey Context:
Peer-to-peer agent communication sounds elegant but makes debugging impossible because no single entity has the global view. A central orchestrator centralizes the control flow, making observability, error recovery, and state consistency trivial to manage. The slight latency cost of routing through the hub is vastly outweighed by the elimination of distributed state bugs.
