[frontier] Static DAG orchestration is too rigid for emergent multi-agent behaviors

Adopt dynamic mesh topologies where agents register capabilities to a central registry and form ad-hoc connections at runtime based on capability matching, rather than hardcoded edges

Journey Context:
Early multi-agent systems \(CrewAI, early LangGraph\) used static DAGs where connections were defined in code. This fails when agents need to collaborate in unplanned ways or when new agents join the system. The frontier is dynamic mesh topologies inspired by service meshes. Agents advertise their MCP capabilities to a registry; other agents query this registry to discover collaborators at runtime. This enables emergent workflows—an agent needing 'data validation' discovers a validator agent dynamically rather than calling a hardcoded function. The tradeoff is observability \(harder to debug dynamic graphs\) and potential for infinite loops, which is managed via capability tokens or TTLs.
