Report #59425

[architecture] Agent A delegates a sub-task to Agent B and blocks waiting for the result, freezing the entire system and preventing Agent A from handling other inputs

Use asynchronous event-driven delegation. Agent A dispatches the task and subscribes to a completion event, remaining free to process other work.

Journey Context:
Synchronous RPC-style agent calls are easy to code but create fragile, tightly-coupled systems. Asynchronous messaging decouples them. Tradeoff: Async is harder to debug and requires state machines to track pending tasks, but it is essential for scalability, responsiveness, and simulating true parallel work.
