Report #81954

[frontier] Static DAG-based agent workflows cannot handle dynamic loops and conditional branching based on intermediate results

Adopt event-driven agent workflows where steps emit events and listen for triggers, enabling dynamic control flow and cyclic dependencies

Journey Context:
Hardcoded DAGs fail when agents need to loop until success or branch unpredictably. Event-driven architectures decouple steps via events. Agents react to state changes, enabling emergent workflows without predefined graphs. This supports human-in-the-loop interrupts and dynamic replanning based on tool outputs.
