Report #90042

[frontier] Hub-and-spoke orchestrator becomes bottleneck with >10 agents

Implement mesh topology using OpenAI Swarm pattern with handoffs and context routing without central coordinator

Journey Context:
Centralized orchestrators manage state for all agents, creating a single point of failure and bottleneck. In mesh topology, agents communicate directly via handoffs, passing context windows to peers. Each agent decides whether to handle a request or route to another. This decentralization enables swarms of 100\+ agents.
