Report #47743

[frontier] Star-topology orchestrators create single points of failure and context bottlenecks

Implement Swarm topology where agents handoff state directly using LangGraph's functional API, enabling peer-to-peer delegation without central coordinator

Journey Context:
Early multi-agent systems used a 'Supervisor' agent to route tasks, creating latency and failure modes. The Swarm pattern \(inspired by biological swarms\) allows agents to dynamically handoff control to specialists while preserving conversation state \(active agent, context\). This uses functional composition where each agent node can return a Command to jump to another agent, creating a decentralized graph execution rather than a tree, eliminating the supervisor bottleneck.
