[architecture] Using direct peer-to-peer messaging for all coordination causing agents to miss parallel updates

Use a shared structured blackboard \(global state\) for shared facts, and reserve direct messaging for task-specific delegation.

Journey Context:
P2P messaging creates a combinatorial explosion of message paths \(N^2\) and requires agents to be online simultaneously. A blackboard architecture allows agents to read the global state asynchronously without needing explicit pings, drastically simplifying coordination and state synchronization across the swarm.
