Report #7665

[architecture] Hardcoding a rigid DAG for agent workflows, making the system brittle to unexpected inputs

Use dynamic routing via an orchestrator LLM that interprets the current state and decides the next agent, rather than a static pipeline.

Journey Context:
Static DAGs \(A always calls B\) are easy to debug but fail when a task needs to skip B or go back to A. An orchestrator allows the LLM to decide the path based on the live context. Tradeoff: Dynamic routing is non-deterministic and harder to unit test; DAGs are deterministic. Use dynamic routing for complex reasoning, DAGs for predictable, repeatable workflows.
