Report #84593

[frontier] Hub-and-spoke multi-agent topologies create single points of failure and bottlenecks in high-throughput agent systems

Adopt the AutoGen 0.4 Core actor-model runtime where agents are independent actors communicating via async messages through a distributed runtime, enabling true peer-to-peer swarm topologies

Journey Context:
Previous AutoGen versions used hierarchical orchestration. The 0.4 Core architecture decouples agent logic from runtime, allowing agents to migrate between hosts and recover from failures via mailbox persistence. This replaces static DAGs with dynamic mesh networks. Tradeoff: higher complexity requires careful message schema design to avoid 'distributed monolith' anti-pattern.
