Report #50824

[architecture] Orchestrator blocking while waiting for a sub-agent to complete a long-running task causing timeouts

Use asynchronous task dispatch with polling or event-driven callbacks for long-running agent tasks, rather than synchronous blocking calls.

Journey Context:
If Agent A calls Agent B to write a large codebase, a synchronous call might hit LLM or HTTP timeouts. Dispatching B as an async task and having A \(or an orchestrator\) poll for completion decouples the execution loops, preventing cascading timeout failures in the agentic workflow.
