Report #30017

[architecture] Agents operate on stale global state because they only received a snapshot at spawn time

Use a shared scratchpad for mutable world state, but pass only references/IDs in messages, forcing agents to read the latest state just-in-time before acting.

Journey Context:
Passing full state in messages is expensive and immediately becomes stale. Passing references ensures agents always fetch the current truth, reducing hallucinations based on outdated context. This is the Blackboard architecture adapted for LLMs.
