[frontier] Fixed multi-agent topologies breaking under varying task complexity

Implement dynamic topology switching using conditional edges in LangGraph \(or AutoGen GroupChat\). Monitor task entropy to trigger transitions: high entropy → swarm topology \(parallel exploration\), low entropy → hierarchical \(sequential execution\), validation → consensus \(voting\).

Journey Context:
Static hierarchies are too rigid for creative tasks; swarms are chaotic for structured tasks. Production systems now use a meta-controller that measures task uncertainty \(entropy\) and rewires agent communication graphs at runtime. This uses LangGraph's conditional edges to route between subgraphs implementing different topologies, or AutoGen's GroupChat with custom speaker selection functions that implement topology policies. The key insight is treating topology as a runtime configuration, not an architectural constant.
