Report #5081

[architecture] Agents executing irreversible side-effects before the overall multi-agent plan is fully validated, leading to partial rollbacks

Separate the cognitive architecture into Proposer and Executor agents, or implement a two-phase commit pattern where agents generate a dry-run plan that is validated before execution.

Journey Context:
When an agent immediately executes as it reasons, a failure halfway through leaves the system in an inconsistent state. By separating planning from execution, the orchestrator can verify the entire sequence of actions before any side-effects occur. The tradeoff is increased latency for the planning phase, but it guarantees atomicity and safe rollback.
