Report #23924

[architecture] Broadcasting every agent's internal state change to all other agents in the network

Implement a blackboard architecture where agents subscribe to specific state topics, pulling updates only when their local execution loop requires it.

Journey Context:
In naive group chats, every message is broadcast to every agent. This causes context window explosion and agents chiming in inappropriately. A blackboard system decouples agents, allowing them to react only to relevant state mutations, keeping their context windows lean and focused.
