Report #57305

[frontier] Rigid supervisor-agent hierarchies causing bottlenecks and single points of failure

Implement dynamic handoff routing where agents advertise capabilities; use LLM-based intent classification to transfer control \(not just call tools\), enabling peer-to-peer delegation

Journey Context:
Static DAGs cannot adapt to novel inputs. The Swarm pattern treats handoffs as first-class transfer-of-control operations with context passing. Agents advertise capabilities via schemas; a router uses the LLM to classify intent and select the next agent, passing full conversational state. This creates recursive, peer-to-peer delegation rather than tree-structured workflows, eliminating supervisor bottlenecks.
