Report #85254

[frontier] Multi-agent systems hardcode agent connections causing rigid workflows that break on edge cases

Use Swarm-style handoff functions with dynamic agent selection based on context and availability

Journey Context:
Static topologies \(DAGs\) in LangGraph fail when tasks require ad-hoc specialist consultation. OpenAI's Swarm demonstrates the handoff pattern where agents dynamically transfer control to other agents via function calls, creating emergent workflows rather than predefined graphs. This enables more flexible fault tolerance.
