[architecture] Two agents overwrite each other's changes to the same file

Implement strict file or directory ownership via a distributed lock or state manager, ensuring only one agent holds the write lease for a resource at a time.

Journey Context:
Agents operating concurrently without resource ownership inevitably hit race conditions. Optimistic locking often fails in code generation because merge conflicts are hard for LLMs to resolve deterministically. Pessimistic locking \(exclusive ownership\) is better. Alternatives like merging branches later result in expensive rework. The tradeoff is reduced parallelism, but it guarantees consistency and avoids broken code states.
