Add ParallelAgent class

[carr324]

Issue number: N/A

Summary

Current version of the multi-agent-orchestrator package does not have any readily available agents to run concurrent operations across multiple agents. Default agents either run independently or need to be sequentially linked with a ChainAgent. A new ParallelAgent that allows multiple agents to run simultaneously would allow for more efficient runtimes and more advanced agentic designs.

Changes

New ParallelAgent module has been added by adapting some of the core logic from ChainAgent. Minimal use of external packages (only typing and asyncio as additional imports beyond modules in the src code). Asynchronously and simultaneously runs each individual agent provided to ParallelAgent, then outputting result as ConversationMessage class. The individual agents within the overall ParallelAgent can be of any default agent class. The combined response from all agents within the ParallelAgent is embedded in the ConversationMessage as a dictionary with agent names in keys and text responses as values.

Possible next steps:

• Finalize python implementation of ParallelAgent
• Replicate logic to TypeScript
• Update documentation/website (mirror ChainAgent info on main package website)
• Anything else suggested by package authors/maintainers

User experience

Users would be able to import and use the ParallelAgent class in a similar manner as ChainAgent.
