[architecture] Requiring agents to synchronize before merging their local state

Use Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types \(CRDTs\) so agents can update locally and merge later without locks or consensus.

Journey Context:
Agents in different processes often try to hold a lock or reach consensus before updating shared state. That serializes work and fails when partitions occur. CRDTs provide mathematically guaranteed convergence if agents exchange updates eventually. They are ideal for counters, sets, maps, and collaborative documents, but not for invariants like 'exactly one seat sold'.
