Report #6790

[architecture] Manager agent blocking and holding a connection open while waiting for a long-running worker agent to complete

Delegate asynchronously. The manager agent should dispatch the task, yield its execution turn, and be re-invoked by an event trigger when the worker finishes, rather than polling.

Journey Context:
LLM calls are stateless and time-bounded. If a manager agent synchronously waits for a worker that takes minutes \(e.g., running a test suite\), the manager's context sits idle, risking API timeouts and wasting compute. Asynchronous delegation via an event-driven orchestrator allows the manager to handle other tasks or simply terminate, waking up only when the worker's result is ready.
