[architecture] Agents act on stale views of shared context after handoffs

Use event sourcing for shared context: append facts or events with logical timestamps and let agents replay the events they have not seen rather than relying on a passed snapshot.

Journey Context:
Passing full state snapshots on every handoff is racy and bandwidth-heavy. Event sourcing gives a causal history that each agent can consume from its own position. Logical clocks let agents detect when they have missed events. This is the same principle behind distributed databases and event-driven microservices, applied to agent shared memory.
