[architecture] Agents losing track of the current global state due to out-of-order message delivery

Use a centralized append-only state ledger that agents read from and append to, rather than relying on point-to-point messaging for state synchronization.

Journey Context:
In point-to-point agent communication, message ordering is not guaranteed, leading to divergent worldviews among agents. A centralized append-only log \(event sourcing\) ensures all agents can reconstruct the exact same state by replaying events in a deterministic order, eliminating the need for complex distributed locking or state reconciliation.
