Report #75248

[architecture] Race conditions and corrupted state when multiple agents write to the same resource

Implement unambiguous resource ownership. At any given time, exactly one agent should own a resource \(e.g., a file, a database row, a state key\) and have write access. Other agents must request ownership or emit events rather than mutating directly.

Journey Context:
Concurrent writes from multiple LLMs lead to lost updates and corrupted artifacts. By applying the Actor Model principle—where state is encapsulated and only modified by its owner—you eliminate write conflicts and make the system deterministic. Events/requests are queued rather than executed concurrently.
