Legacy Monolithic Conversational Loop (Fragile & Blocking):
Agent A (Planner) ──► (Synchronous Function Call) ──► Agent B (Coder: Crashes on Syntax Error!)
💥 Entire Python process crashes! State is lost! Swarm cannot recover! ❌

AutoGen v0.4 Event-Driven Actor Architecture (Resilient & Distributed):
Agent A (Planner Node on AWS) ──(Async gRPC Message Stream)──► [ Distributed Message Router ]
                              ──(Asynchronous Event Envelope)──► Agent B (Coder Node on GCP)
                              ──► Agent B runs in an isolated container process!
                              ✅ Zero shared memory locks! If Agent B fails, supervisor restarts it in 50ms!
