[frontier] Unpredictable agent execution paths and unmaintainable conditional logic

Model agent workflows as state machines with explicit nodes, edges, and conditional transitions using graph-based orchestration

Journey Context:
Hardcoded if-else chains for agent logic become unmaintainable as complexity grows, with implicit state transitions causing bugs. State machine orchestration defines agent steps as graph nodes with typed inputs/outputs and explicit edges. This enables visual debugging, pausing/resuming at any step, and complex branching logic that remains comprehensible. It separates control flow from business logic, making agent behaviors testable and deterministic.
