[architecture] Agents losing track of shared variables because state is buried in exponentially growing chat histories

Implement a shared structured state object \(a blackboard\) that agents read from and write to, rather than relying on the conversational message history as the source of truth.

Journey Context:
Using chat history as state is a common anti-pattern. As the conversation grows, it becomes computationally expensive and lossy for agents to extract current variable states. A blackboard architecture decouples state from communication. Agents read the current state at the start of their turn, act upon it, and write back deltas. This ensures all agents operate on the latest synchronized data without parsing the entire transcript.
