Report #15621

[architecture] Destructive CLI commands executed by one agent invalidating the environment or running tests while another agent is writing code

Separate read/write and execution environments: agents write code in isolated scopes, and a dedicated, locked 'Execution Agent' is the only entity allowed to run builds or tests, queuing requests sequentially.

Journey Context:
If Agent A runs pytest while Agent B is halfway through writing a file, the test suite crashes and B's write might fail. Concurrent test runs also produce conflicting coverage data. Separating execution from mutation via a single sequential execution queue ensures environment stability and deterministic test results.
