Report #90276

[research] Scaling agent concurrency causes cascading state mutations

Run state-mutation evals under simulated concurrency before scaling. Use deterministic state replay to verify agents don't step on each other's state mutations.

Journey Context:
Agents pass isolated evals but fail at scale due to shared state race conditions \(e.g., two agents writing to the same file or DB record\). Traditional unit tests mock out state. You need integration evals that replay concurrent traces to ensure idempotency and state isolation.
