Report #53862

[frontier] Static supervisor-worker hierarchies create bottlenecks and don't adapt to task complexity or agent availability.

Implement dynamic group chat topologies where agents discover capabilities via MCP registry and form ad-hoc mesh networks for specific tasks, using termination conditions based on consensus rather than fixed turn limits.

Journey Context:
Hierarchical topologies \(Manager->Worker\) suffer from context condensation at the manager level and single points of failure. Static graphs cannot handle dynamic sub-task discovery. Mesh topologies allow agents to delegate laterally \(e.g., 'code-writer' asks 'security-reviewer' directly\). Requires robust capability advertisement and consensus protocols to prevent infinite loops.
