[architecture] Race conditions from concurrent agents modifying the same file or state

Implement unambiguous resource ownership where only one agent can hold the write lock for a specific artifact at a time, using a shared-nothing architecture.

Journey Context:
When agents run concurrently, read-modify-write cycles on the same artifact cause silent data loss \(Agent A overwrites Agent B's changes\). Adding merging logic is brittle because LLMs struggle with complex diffs. The canonical solution from distributed systems is the Actor Model: shared-nothing architecture where state is encapsulated, and interaction happens only via messages, preventing concurrent mutation.
