Report #58669

[architecture] Divergent world views and state sync issues across parallel agents

Use an append-only event log \(Event Sourcing\) as the shared blackboard, rather than passing mutable state dictionaries between agents.

Journey Context:
When agents operate in parallel, passing mutable state objects leads to merge conflicts and stale reads. By adopting Event Sourcing, agents simply append their actions \(e.g., FileUpdated, TicketCreated\) to a shared log. Other agents read the log to reconstruct the current state. This guarantees causal ordering, eliminates lock contention, and provides a perfect audit trail of agent actions.
