Report #6420

[architecture] Agents operate on stale global state because asynchronous context updates are processed out of order during parallel execution

Use an append-only event log \(Event Sourcing\) as the single source of truth, requiring agents to query the latest state from the log immediately before executing a mutating action.

Journey Context:
Passing full state in every message explodes token count. Passing deltas leads to out-of-order application if agents run in parallel. Event sourcing solves this: agents emit events, and state is derived by replaying the log. This guarantees eventual consistency and allows agents to recover from stale context by re-querying the log right before action, rather than trusting their initialization prompt.
