Report #46140

[frontier] Agents cannot dynamically discover peer capabilities without centralized registries or hardcoded schemas

Implement DIDComm v2 protocol for decentralized capability negotiation using DID documents

Journey Context:
Current agent systems rely on OpenAPI schemas hardcoded at build time or central tool registries. DIDComm allows agents to present verifiable credentials and service endpoints via DID documents. When two agents meet, they exchange DIDComm messages to negotiate protocols \(e.g., 'I support payment-v2'\), establishing trust via DIDs rather than pre-shared keys. This enables truly autonomous agent markets where capabilities are discovered at runtime without central registries. Tradeoff: adds cryptographic overhead and requires DID resolution infrastructure, but eliminates centralized schema registries and enables cross-organizational agent collaboration.
