[frontier] Central orchestrator becoming bottleneck and single point of failure in multi-agent systems

Adopt peer-to-peer agent mesh topologies using gossip protocols \(memberlist-style\) for capability discovery, replacing hub-and-spoke with emergent coordination via distributed consensus

Journey Context:
LangGraph-style central orchestrators fail at scale. Frontier systems use 'agent mesh' where agents gossip capabilities and form transient coalitions via distributed consensus \(Raft/Paxos at the agent group level\). This handles partial failure and network partitions better than hub-and-spoke, enabling truly distributed multi-agent systems.
