Report #66660

[architecture] Agents executing actions based on stale state because they rely on a snapshot injected at initialization

Implement a pull-based state model where agents query the centralized state store immediately before acting, rather than caching state in their context window.

Journey Context:
Agents often receive a snapshot of the world state in their initial prompt. In a multi-agent environment, if Agent A modifies the state \(e.g., deletes a file\), Agent B—still operating on its initial context—will attempt to act on the now-nonexistent file. Pushing state updates to all agents is noisy and bloats context windows. A pull-based model \(reading the latest state right before tool execution\) ensures actions are grounded in current reality, at the minor cost of a latency hit for the state query.
