[frontier] How do I prevent context duplication when multiple agents need shared working memory?

Expose agent working memory as MCP Resources with stable URIs \(e.g., 'memory://agent-1/session-abc'\), allowing other agents to fetch or subscribe to deltas via the MCP protocol instead of passing full history.

Journey Context:
Passing full conversation history between agents causes exponential token growth and context window exhaustion. Central databases add latency and schema coupling. The MCP specification defines Resources specifically for 'exposing data and content' to clients, but the frontier pattern is using Resources as a distributed object store for agent state. By giving memory fragments URIs and using MCP's resource subscription \(where supported\), agents can share state reactively without knowing each other's internal schemas. This turns the transport layer into a memory bus.
