Report #76195

[architecture] Two agents attempt to call the same stateful tool concurrently, causing race conditions or lost updates

Centralize state mutations through a single State Manager agent or a deterministic orchestrator service, rather than allowing multiple autonomous agents to share mutable state concurrently.

Journey Context:
Multi-agent systems often share a global state object. If Agent A and Agent B modify it simultaneously based on outdated reads, you get lost updates. Agents should be readers; writes should be serialized through a single authority or transactional tool. Concurrency is great for independent reads, but writes require strict serialization.
