Report #7664

[architecture] Independent agents issuing conflicting infrastructure or package commands

Delegate all state-mutating side effects to a single 'Executor' agent or a transactional tool layer, while other agents act as read-only planners.

Journey Context:
If Agent A and Agent B both have write access to the filesystem, they can issue conflicting commands \(e.g., A installs lib=1.0, B installs lib=2.0\). By enforcing strict separation between read-only planning agents and a single write-execution agent, you serialize state mutations. Tradeoff: The executor becomes a bottleneck, but it guarantees environment consistency.
