[architecture] Implementing peer-to-peer agent communication where any agent can call any other agent, resulting in untraceable spaghetti orchestration

Use a hub-and-spoke \(supervisor\) topology where a central orchestrator agent manages all routing and handoffs between worker agents.

Journey Context:
Peer-to-peer agent networks sound highly autonomous and flexible, but in practice, they are a nightmare to debug. When an error occurs, you cannot trace the call stack. Hub-and-spoke forces all state transitions through a single supervisor, making the execution path deterministic and auditable. Tradeoff: the supervisor becomes a single point of failure and a serial bottleneck, but the massive increase in observability and reliability is worth it for most enterprise workflows.
