Report #99291

[architecture] Two agents overwrite the same file, database row, or object because ownership is unclear.

Assign exactly one agent or executor ownership of each mutable resource; every other agent requests changes through a typed command queue or message, never by writing directly.

Journey Context:
Shared mutable state is the fastest path to race conditions and rollback nightmares in multi-agent systems. Actor-model ownership makes concurrency tractable by ensuring one logical writer per resource, with commands arriving through a mailbox or queue. This maps directly to durable workflow execution where external side effects happen in isolated activities.

environment: Concurrent or parallel agents that read and write overlapping files, records, or UI state. · tags: ownership actor-model concurrency state single-writer · source: swarm · provenance: https://docs.temporal.io/workflows
