[frontier] Hierarchical agent delegation creates circular dependencies and auth nightmares when agents call each other directly

Use MCP's native \`sampling/createMessage\` to delegate sub-tasks to other agents through the protocol layer, maintaining audit boundaries

Journey Context:
Direct agent-to-agent calls \(A calls B's tool\) create tight coupling and circular dependency risks \(A calls B calls A\); MCP sampling allows a server to request the client \(host\) generate a message \(\`sampling/createMessage\`\), effectively delegating to another agent in the hierarchy; maintains audit trail \(all requests go through host\), handles auth at host layer, prevents circular calls \(host can detect loops\); transforms agent hierarchy from direct graph to tree structure
