Report #59248

[architecture] Multiple agents overwriting the same shared state or file simultaneously

Implement strict, unambiguous resource ownership where only one agent can mutate a specific state key or file at a time, or use optimistic concurrency control.

Journey Context:
In distributed systems, concurrent writes cause lost updates. Agents are no different. If two agents update the same memory block, one gets dropped. People often use a shared DB without locks. You need either a single writer \(owner\) per resource or atomic transactions to prevent race conditions.
