Implement parallel agent execution with async coordination #22

@Aureliolo

Description

@Aureliolo

Context

Enable multiple agents to work concurrently on independent subtasks. This is essential for performance — when a task is decomposed into parallel subtasks, the system should execute them simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Concurrent agent execution using `asyncio.gather` or equivalent
  • Shared resource locking to prevent conflicts (e.g., two agents writing to same file)
  • Coordination points (wait for all parallel subtasks before proceeding)
  • Configurable max concurrent agents (to control resource usage)
  • Progress tracking for parallel execution groups
  • Error isolation — one agent's failure does not crash other concurrent agents
  • Graceful handling of partial failures (some succeed, some fail)
  • Comprehensive unit tests (>80% coverage)
