Report #83663

[frontier] Multi-agent orchestration creating blocking bottlenecks with central coordinator patterns

Adopt lightweight handoff topologies where agents transfer conversation state via structured output types, streaming partial results without central orchestrators.

Journey Context:
Centralized orchestrators \(LangGraph, etc.\) become single points of failure and latency sinks. The Swarm pattern \(now in OpenAI Agents SDK\) treats agents as cellular automata: Agent A determines it should transfer to Agent B, emits a structured handoff object containing the conversation state, and the runtime routes to B. This enables parallel agent execution and eliminates orchestrator bottlenecks.
