Report #12080

[architecture] Agents losing track of the overarching goal or previously solved steps during handoffs

Maintain a global, append-only shared state object \(blackboard architecture\) that all agents read from and write to, rather than relying purely on point-to-point message passing.

Journey Context:
Point-to-point messaging creates fragmented, implicit state that is hard to debug and easy for agents to lose context. A global state graph allows any agent to pick up the task with full context of what has transpired, preventing redundant work and ensuring alignment with the overarching goal.
