Report #12078

[architecture] Race conditions and overwrites when multiple agents modify the same shared resource

Implement strict, unambiguous resource ownership where only one agent holds the write lock or mutation rights to a specific resource at any given time, using a central state graph or reducer.

Journey Context:
Autonomous agents operating concurrently will inevitably step on each other's work if resources are globally mutable. Standard distributed systems concurrency issues apply. Shared-read, single-write ownership via a state manager prevents lost updates and ensures state predictability without requiring complex distributed locking mechanisms.
