Report #10176

[architecture] Agents executing actions based on stale state because they only read shared memory at initialization

Append state deltas to a shared, append-only ledger \(like a git log or event stream\) and force agents to read the latest ledger entry before executing any write action.

Journey Context:
Agents often cache their initial view of the world. If Agent A creates a file, Agent B might try to create the same file if it relies on its initialization state. Polling is expensive; event-driven push is complex for LLMs to react to asynchronously. An append-only ledger provides a single source of truth that is cheap to read and prevents overwrites.
