[frontier] My central orchestrator agent becomes a bottleneck and single point of failure

Use LangGraph Swarm architecture: implement agents as nodes that hand off control via \`Command\(goto=agent\)\` with shared thread state, removing the need for a central coordinator and enabling decentralized task passing.

Journey Context:
Traditional multi-agent systems use a 'manager' agent that delegates tasks, creating a bottleneck and complex retry logic when the manager fails. The Swarm pattern \(popularized by OpenAI's Swarm library and integrated into LangGraph in early 2025\) allows agents to directly hand off tasks to each other using shared state and \`Command\` transitions. This creates a decentralized mesh where any agent can transfer to any other, eliminating the coordinator bottleneck and enabling more natural agent collaboration patterns with better fault isolation.
