[architecture] Blocking the main orchestrator thread while waiting for a sub-agent to complete a long-running task

Delegate long-running tasks to asynchronous sub-agents and use an event-driven architecture \(pub/sub or polling\) to resume the orchestrator upon completion.

Journey Context:
Blocking makes the system fragile and unscalable. If Agent A waits synchronously on Agent B, A's resources are tied up and prone to timeout. Event-driven delegation allows the orchestrator to handle other tasks or wait efficiently, preventing timeout errors and reducing compute costs.
