[frontier] Centralized orchestrator choking on 10\+ agents

Adopt peer-to-peer 'Agent Mesh' with gossip-based discovery and CRDT-based shared state, eliminating the single supervisor bottleneck.

Journey Context:
Teams start with supervisor-worker \(CrewAI/AutoGen v0.3\) and hit latency walls at 8-12 agents. Hierarchical trees still have root bottlenecks. The shift is to peer-to-peer meshes where agents gossip capabilities and use CRDTs \(conflict-free replicated data types\) for shared memory, allowing horizontal scaling without coordination overhead. This mirrors the shift from monoliths to microservices but for agent topologies.
