Report #70550

[frontier] GroupChat agents waste tokens on irrelevant chatter or deadlock in circular conversations

Implement dynamic speaker selection using state-aware selector functions that analyze last message content and agent metadata to pick next speaker; terminate early when consensus detected

Journey Context:
Round-robin wastes context on irrelevant agents; random selection loses coherence. Dynamic selection uses the LLM itself or a fast classifier to determine who should speak next based on the evolving state—similar to attention mechanisms. This replaces static DAGs with emergent conversation graphs. The risk of central coordinator bottleneck is mitigated by caching agent state summaries.
