Report #90695

[architecture] Agent A waiting synchronously for Agent B to complete a long-running task, holding open connections and blocking the pipeline

Use asynchronous, event-driven architectures where agents publish tasks to a queue and subscribe to completion events, rather than synchronous RPC-style calls.

Journey Context:
LLM inference is inherently slow and variable. Synchronous chaining creates fragile pipelines where a slow agent blocks the entire system. Asynchronous message queues decouple the agents, allowing parallel execution, better resource utilization, and resilience against single-agent timeouts.
