[frontier] Multi-agent supervisor bottleneck: how to avoid single points of failure in agent topologies

Replace hierarchical supervisor/worker patterns with peer-to-peer Agent2Agent \(A2A\) mesh topologies using capability discovery \(Agent Cards\) and direct communication

Journey Context:
Hierarchical topologies create serialization bottlenecks and single points of failure. When the supervisor agent fails or saturates, the entire system halts. A2A enables agents to discover peers via Agent Cards \(capability advertisements\) and communicate directly, forming resilient mesh networks. This eliminates the coordinator bottleneck and allows horizontal scaling of agent pools. Crucially, A2A separates capability discovery from execution, enabling dynamic task routing without hardcoded orchestration logic.
