[frontier] Centralized context managers becoming bottlenecks and single points of failure in multi-agent systems with shared state

Implement Conflict-free Replicated Data Types \(CRDTs\) for agent context, enabling decentralized, eventually-consistent shared state without coordination overhead

Journey Context:
Shared state in multi-agent systems typically uses a centralized database or message broker, creating latency and availability issues. CRDTs \(convergent or commutative replicated data types\) allow agents to maintain local replicas of shared context that automatically converge without consensus protocols. For agent systems, this means each agent can write to its local context replica \(e.g., updating a shared knowledge graph or task queue\) and have changes propagate asynchronously to peers. Tradeoff: sacrifices strong consistency for eventual consistency \(agents may temporarily see divergent states\), but eliminates coordination latency and enables truly distributed agent swarms that function during network partitions.
