Report #44169

[frontier] Static DAG workflow graphs fail when agent execution requires dynamic replanning based on intermediate tool results or failures.

Implement reflection-driven orchestration: use LangGraph's Send API to dispatch nodes dynamically based on a 'strategist' agent's reflection on execution traces, allowing the workflow graph to mutate at runtime rather than following predefined edges.

Journey Context:
Initial multi-agent systems use fixed topologies \(pipeline, supervisor\). When sub-agents fail or return unexpected results, the workflow breaks. Emerging pattern \(late 2024-2025\): Treat the orchestrator itself as an agent with write access to the graph. After each step, a 'reflection node' evaluates the trace and decides the next step using LangGraph's 'Send' primitive to spawn new nodes not in the original graph. This separates 'execution agents' \(tools\) from 'strategy agents' \(planners\). Critical insight: Don't use conditional edges for complex replanning; use dynamic dispatch to rewrite the plan based on reflection.
