Report #6974

[architecture] Decentralized peer-to-peer agent communication results in unpredictable emergent behavior and impossible debugging

Use a centralized orchestrator \(hub-and-spoke\) for deterministic routing and state management; strictly limit peer-to-peer agent communication.

Journey Context:
P2P agent networks seem robust and distributed, but they make tracing agent interactions a nightmare. When an error occurs, it is impossible to know which agent initiated the bad state. Hub-and-spoke makes the orchestrator a potential bottleneck, but it provides a single source of truth for debugging, state history, and deterministic routing.
