[architecture] Concurrent agents overwrite each other's updates in a shared state dictionary

Replace mutable shared state objects with an append-only event log \(Event Sourcing\), where each agent emits state-change events, and the current state is derived by replaying the event stream.

Journey Context:
Multi-agent frameworks often use a single shared dictionary for context. When agents run in parallel, race conditions cause the last-to-write to overwrite previous updates. Event sourcing guarantees that no data is lost; all mutations are recorded as additive events. The orchestrator can then resolve conflicts deterministically or merge states without data loss.
