[architecture] Agents making decisions based on stale state because they hold a local copy of the world

Implement an append-only event log or a centralized state store with subscriptions. Agents should read state just-in-time before making a decision, rather than caching long-lived state in their context window.

Journey Context:
Passing a snapshot of the world state to an agent at initialization seems efficient, but in multi-agent setups, the world changes while the agent thinks. The agent acts on outdated information. Event sourcing ensures agents can reconstruct state or react to deltas, and just-in-time reads guarantee the freshest context, at the cost of slightly higher read latency.
