[frontier] Single coordinator failure bringing down multi-agent systems during network partitions

Implement state convergence using Conflict-free Replicated Data Types \(CRDTs\) for shared agent memory instead of consensus protocols or leader election

Journey Context:
Current multi-agent: Single coordinator fails = system down. Emerging pattern: Agents share state via CRDTs \(counters, sets, maps\) that converge without consensus. Enables partition-tolerant agent swarms where subgroups continue operating and merge state later. Critical for edge-deployed agents with intermittent connectivity. Uses libraries like Automerge or Yjs adapted for agent state rather than document editing.
