Report #76069

[architecture] A central orchestrator agent dictating every single step to sub-agents negating their autonomy and reasoning capability

Delegate goals, not steps. Pass the desired outcome and constraints to the sub-agent, letting it plan its own tool calls.

Journey Context:
It is tempting to use a 'Manager' agent that tells a 'Coder' agent exactly which files to read and write. This reduces the Coder to a dumb API call and bottlenecks the system on the Manager's context window. The tradeoff is loss of deterministic control, but delegating goals leverages the sub-agent's full reasoning capacity and reduces orchestrator load.
