[synthesis] How to architect multi-agent systems so they don't get stuck in infinite loops or hallucinate together?

Use a Supervisor agent that controls the flow, delegates tasks to specialized worker agents, and synthesizes the final result. Avoid peer-to-peer agent debates for production tasks.

Journey Context:
Early multi-agent frameworks \(like the original AutoGen\) allowed agents to chat freely. This often leads to infinite loops, polite agreements on wrong answers, and context explosion. Production architectures \(visible in CrewAI's process types and LangGraph's supervisor architecture\) enforce a hierarchy. The Supervisor is the only one that talks to the user and the workers. Workers only respond to the Supervisor. This limits the state space, prevents loops, and makes debugging tractable.
