[frontier] Agent UI freezes because state updates block on full agent loop completion

Stream agent state transitions via Server-Sent Events \(SSE\) using the Vercel AI SDK's \`streamObject\`: emit intermediate reasoning, tool calls, and final answers as distinct events for real-time UI updates without waiting for completion.

Journey Context:
Synchronous agent calls create poor UX with long-running tasks. The shift is treating agent execution as an observable stream of state changes \(reasoning, actions, observations\) rather than a black box. This requires protocol-level support for streaming structured data \(JSON patches over SSE\), enabling reactive UIs that show the agent 'thinking' in real-time.
