[frontier] Static hierarchical multi-agent topologies creating bottlenecks when task requirements shift dynamically

Implement lightweight swarm consensus where agents broadcast capability vectors, negotiate task ownership via promise-based election \(like Raft but for task allocation\), and form temporary 'flash organizations' that dissolve after task completion

Journey Context:
CrewAI-style hierarchies and LangGraph DAGs assume predefined workflows. In dynamic environments, you need emergent coordination. The 2025 pattern adapts Raft consensus \(leader election, log replication\) to agent task allocation: agents broadcast capability vectors \(what they can do \+ current load\), run distributed consensus to elect which agent owns a new task, and form temporary 'flash orgs' that auto-disband when the subtask completes. This is NOT just 'multi-agent' - it's decentralized coordination without a central orchestrator node.
