Report #45395

[frontier] Multi-agent systems suffer from context pollution and cascading errors

Implement hierarchical supervision with LangGraph's Parent-Graph/Sub-Graph pattern enforcing strict context contracts between supervisor and worker agents

Journey Context:
Flat multi-agent topologies \(CrewAI style\) lead to message storms and context leakage. The winning pattern is hierarchical state machines where a parent graph manages high-level workflow and delegates to child sub-graphs with explicit state contracts \(input/output schemas\), preventing pollution.
