Report #86150

[architecture] Agents acting on stale state or hallucinating shared context that was never transmitted

Use a shared structured state object \(a 'blackboard'\) that agents read from and write to deterministically, rather than relying on agents to perfectly summarize state in chat messages.

Journey Context:
Passing full chat history between agents explodes token usage and causes context window overflows. Passing summaries loses critical details. A shared structured state \(blackboard\) ensures all agents operate on the same ground truth without token bloat. Agents only need to read the specific keys they need from the blackboard, keeping their local context clean and accurate.
