[architecture] Agents reading stale data from a shared memory scratchpad due to asynchronous updates

Use a strongly consistent, centralized state store for shared scratchpads, and force agents to read fresh state immediately before taking action.

Journey Context:
Eventual consistency works for analytics, but for code generation or sequential task execution, reading stale code leads to syntax errors and broken builds. Strong consistency is required for shared agent state, even at the cost of slight latency increases, to prevent agents from overwriting each other's progress.
