Report #63894

[architecture] Unstructured group chats where agents interrupt each other, talk past the user, or ignore the task

Implement a deterministic speaker selection algorithm \(e.g., round-robin, token-based, or supervisor-selected\) rather than letting agents decide who speaks next.

Journey Context:
Democratic multi-agent chats \(where any agent can chime in\) quickly devolve into noise or endless agreement loops. A centralized speaker-selection mechanism—often just a simple rule or a lightweight classifier—ensures only the relevant agent speaks, reducing token waste and keeping the conversation coherent. Autonomy must be constrained by orchestration rules to be effective.
