[architecture] Agents in a shared memory space accidentally overwrite critical context needed by other agents

Implement append-only shared memory for inter-agent communication, or enforce strict namespace isolation where agents only read shared state but write to their own scoped state, merged by an orchestrator.

Journey Context:
Frameworks often provide a global 'scratchpad' or state object. If Agent A and Agent B both modify the same task\_status key, race conditions or logic errors will corrupt the state. Append-only logs \(like an event store\) or scoped namespaces prevent destructive mutations. The tradeoff is increased memory usage and the need for an orchestrator to reconcile state, but it guarantees that no agent destroys another's context.
