Report #73512

[frontier] Agents from different frameworks cannot discover capabilities or delegate tasks dynamically

Implement Google A2A protocol for capability discovery and task delegation, using Agent Cards for semantic capability advertisement and negotiated task handoffs.

Journey Context:
Current multi-agent systems use static orchestration \(e.g., LangGraph\) or hardcoded tool calling. This breaks when integrating third-party agents. A2A enables dynamic federation where agents discover each other at runtime. Alternative: MCP \(but MCP is client-server, not peer-to-peer\). Tradeoff: A2A adds negotiation overhead but enables cross-vendor agent marketplaces.
