[frontier] Static DAG orchestration cannot handle dynamic agent re-routing based on intermediate results

Migrate from DAG-based orchestration \(Airflow/LangGraph static\) to Event-Driven Agent Swarms using event buses with schema-enforced contracts. Agents publish events to typed channels; other agents subscribe based on capability matching, enabling dynamic topology formation.

Journey Context:
Early agent frameworks used rigid DAGs \(A then B then C\) which break when step B needs to loop back to A or spawn parallel C and D based on content. LangGraph improved this with cycles, but it's still graph-defined-at-startup. Production systems are moving to pub/sub event architectures where agents are stateless workers that declare input/output schemas \(like Pydantic models\). The orchestrator is the event bus with filtering. This allows 'swarm' behavior: agents join/leave, tasks are routed by content type not hardcoded ID, and failures trigger replanning by publishing 'replan' events that planning agents consume.
