[architecture] No clear source of truth for workflow state across autonomous agents

Use an orchestrator with a durable event log, or use CRDTs for peer-to-peer state; never rely on pairwise chat history.

Journey Context:
Chat-based agents often hold state only in their conversation context. When one agent drops, restarts, or joins late, the system loses coherence. A durable log \(event sourcing\) gives a replayable source of truth. CRDTs allow peers to converge without consensus. Choose orchestration when you need strong ordering and auditability; choose CRDTs when you need partition tolerance and peer autonomy.
