Report #59619

[architecture] Hardcoding agent names into routing logic making the system rigid

Route based on capability descriptors \(e.g., functions/tools exposed by the agent\) rather than agent identity, allowing dynamic discovery.

Journey Context:
Identity-based routing breaks when you add a new agent that can do the same job. Capability-based routing allows agents to register tools and the router to resolve them dynamically, decoupling the orchestrator from the worker implementation.
