Annotation Interface ParallelAgent

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Target(METHOD) public @interface ParallelAgent
Marks a method as a definition of a parallel agent, used to orchestrate the agentic workflow by invoking a series of sub-agents in parallel. Each sub-agent is defined using the SubAgent annotation, which specifies the sub-agent's type and its output variable name.

Example: 


    public interface EveningPlannerAgent {

        @ParallelAgent(outputKey = "plans", subAgents = {
                @SubAgent(type = FoodExpert.class, outputKey = "meals"),
                @SubAgent(type = MovieExpert.class, outputKey = "movies")
        })
        List<EveningPlan> plan(@V("mood") String mood);
    }
