[architecture] Agents executing actions on stale state because they rely on cached context from initialization

Force agents to query the canonical state store immediately before taking a mutating action, or use an event-driven blackboard architecture to push state mutations.

Journey Context:
Agents cache their initial context in the prompt. If Agent A writes to the DB, Agent B's prompt still contains the old state. Polling is inefficient, but executing on stale state causes logical errors. Strict read-before-write \(pull\) or event subscriptions \(push\) are required to synchronize the mental model with reality.
