[architecture] Implementing peer-to-peer agent handoffs resulting in unpredictable spaghetti routing

Use a centralized orchestrator or router agent that delegates tasks to specialized worker agents and controls the workflow via a state machine or graph.

Journey Context:
Peer-to-peer handoffs seem flexible but lead to hidden dependencies, infinite loops, and untraceable execution paths. A centralized router provides a single source of truth for workflow progression, making the architecture deterministic and debuggable.
