Report #71284

[architecture] Multiple agents modifying the same file or state simultaneously causing race conditions

Implement a strict single-writer or owner principle per resource. Agents must request ownership or delegate the write to a dedicated state-manager agent.

Journey Context:
Shared mutable state is the root of all evil in concurrent systems. Agents do not have native mutexes. Allowing concurrent writes leads to lost updates and corrupted files. Delegating ownership or using append-only event sourcing prevents overwrites.
