[frontier] Centralized orchestrator becomes bottleneck and single point of failure in multi-agent systems

Implement decentralized agent mesh protocols where agents negotiate directly using capability advertisements and contract-based task delegation

Journey Context:
Current multi-agent patterns use a supervisor \(CrewAI, AutoGen\) or star topology. This doesn't scale and creates brittleness. Emerging patterns use 'agent mesh' topologies inspired by service meshes \(Istio, Linkerd\). Each agent advertises its capabilities via a lightweight gossip protocol or DHT \(distributed hash table\). When an agent needs a task done, it broadcasts a request-for-proposal \(RFP\), interested agents bid with estimates \(cost/latency/accuracy\), and the requestor selects based on local policy \(cheapest, fastest, most accurate\). This eliminates the orchestrator bottleneck, allows dynamic load balancing, and enables agents to join/leave the mesh dynamically. Implement using libp2p for transport or Redis Streams for lightweight versions.
