Report #5089

[architecture] Orchestrator routing to the wrong agent or tool because multiple agents expose overlapping or ambiguously named capabilities

Namespace all tools and agent capabilities explicitly by domain \(e.g., frontend.run\_code vs backend.run\_code\) and enforce strict boundaries in agent system prompts.

Journey Context:
As multi-agent systems scale, tool and capability collisions are inevitable. If the orchestrator relies on semantic similarity, overlapping names cause non-deterministic routing. Namespacing forces a clear API boundary between agents, making the orchestrator's routing deterministic. The tradeoff is that agents become less general-purpose, but reliability dramatically increases.
