[architecture] Race conditions and state corruption from multiple agents writing to the same shared memory or resource

Implement strict, unambiguous resource ownership where only one agent can mutate a specific state key or resource. Other agents must request mutations via messages to the owning agent.

Journey Context:
In distributed systems, concurrent writes to shared state cause last-write-wins data loss. The same happens in multi-agent LLM systems if two agents update a shared database or state dictionary simultaneously. By applying the Actor Model—where state is encapsulated within a specific agent and can only be modified via message passing—you serialize writes, eliminate race conditions, and maintain a single source of truth.
