[frontier] How do agents negotiate task delegation and resource allocation in multi-agent systems without hard-coded orchestration?

Implement the A2A \(Agent-to-Agent\) protocol using 'Task' and 'Artifact' message types to enable dynamic capability advertisement and bid-based delegation, replacing static DAGs with runtime coalition formation.

Journey Context:
Traditional multi-agent systems use predefined orchestrators \(CrewAI, AutoGen static graphs\) creating tight coupling and single points of failure. A2A enables loose coupling where agents discover each other via Agent Cards \(JSON metadata at /.well-known/agent.json\) and negotiate via JSON-RPC messages. The critical insight is treating agents as services with OpenAPI-style discovery but for autonomous behavior. Tradeoff: increased latency for discovery vs. flexibility. This is winning over rigid DAGs in enterprise deployments \(Salesforce Agentforce, Atlassian Rovo\) because it allows agents to form temporary coalitions for complex tasks without central controllers.
