[architecture] Compromised agent poisons shared memory or blackboard corrupting context for all other agents

Implement scoped, role-based access control \(RBAC\) for shared agent memory. Agents should only have write access to their own designated memory namespaces and read access only to what is necessary for their specific task.

Journey Context:
A shared global state or blackboard architecture makes data sharing between agents trivial but introduces a massive attack surface. If one agent processes a malicious prompt injection, it can write malicious instructions into the shared memory, effectively taking over the entire swarm. Memory scoping limits the blast radius of a compromised agent, trading global convenience for localized security.
