Subject: [PATCH 6/7] refactor(multiagent): improve streaming event handling
 and documentation

- Update docstrings to match Agent's minimal style (use dict keys instead of class names)
- Add isinstance checks for result event detection for type safety
- Improve _stream_with_timeout to handle None timeout case
- Add MultiAgentResultEvent for consistency with Agent pattern
- Yield TypedEvent objects internally, convert to dict at API boundary
- All 154 tests passing

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] fix(multiagent): remove no-op asyncio.gather in parallel
 execution

- Remove unnecessary asyncio.gather() after event loop completion
- Same issue as tool executor PR #954
- By the time loop exits, all tasks have already completed
- Gather was waiting for already-finished tasks (no-op)
- All 154 tests passing
