Report #58667

[architecture] Race conditions and corrupted state when multiple agents write to the same resource

Assign exclusive ownership of mutable state \(files, database records, API sessions\) to exactly one agent; other agents must request mutations via messages to the owner.

Journey Context:
In multi-agent setups, if two agents attempt to modify the same file or database row simultaneously, you get classic race conditions and lost updates. Treating agents as Actors that encapsulate their state ensures no shared mutable state exists. If Agent B needs to update Agent A's resource, it sends a structured message to A, serializing the writes.
