[architecture] Agents operating on stale state because they read shared memory at initialization and never receive updates

Implement a shared scratchpad \(blackboard architecture\) where state mutations push updates to active agents, or force agents to read the latest state from the store immediately before taking action.

Journey Context:
Agents often cache their initial context. If Agent A changes a database record, Agent B might still act on the old value. A blackboard pattern \(or reactive state like LangGraph's state\) ensures all agents see the ground truth at the exact moment they need to act.
