[architecture] Agents deadlocking while waiting for each other to release resources or provide inputs

Design the agent execution flow as a Directed Acyclic Graph \(DAG\) to structurally prevent circular dependencies, or implement timeout-based resource acquisition.

Journey Context:
If Agent A waits for Agent B, and B waits for A, they deadlock. In multi-agent orchestration, this happens if dependencies aren't mapped. By forcing the execution flow into a DAG \(where agents only pass results forward, never backward cyclically without a loop limit\), you break the deadlock structurally.
