Report #50501

[synthesis] Agent reports overall success because 80% of sub-tasks passed, but critical dependency failures make the output useless

Implement a DAG for task dependencies and enforce transactional semantics: if a critical dependency fails, rollback dependent tasks and abort.

Journey Context:
Naive orchestrators treat agents as independent workers and merge results. This fails for code generation where step B depends on step A. Without a DAG, the orchestrator cannot know that a missing import \(partial failure\) breaks the entire file \(total failure\). Treating agent workflows as distributed transactions ensures data integrity over partial completion.
