Report #51891

[architecture] Agents waiting synchronously for other agents to complete long-running tasks

Use an asynchronous event-driven architecture \(pub/sub or message queue\) for inter-agent communication. Agents emit events when done, rather than blocking on RPC-style calls.

Journey Context:
Early frameworks treated agent calls like standard function calls \(synchronous\). If Agent A calls Agent B, A sits idle. If B takes 30 seconds \(e.g., running code or browsing\), A times out or wastes compute. Async event loops allow agents to yield control and resume when the event is published, drastically improving throughput.
