[architecture] Shared mutable state causes race conditions between parallel agents

Give each agent exclusive ownership of its own state partition; share data only via immutable events or single-writer message queues.

Journey Context:
The Actor model's core lesson is that concurrent agents writing the same object require locks, transactions, or careful consensus. Exclusive state plus asynchronous message passing eliminates data races by design. The tradeoff is more messages and no trivial global query; the alternative is subtle race conditions that only appear under load.
