Most Multi-Agent Failures Start as Small State Mismatches

Large multi-agent incidents often begin with small state mismatches that look harmless until coordination depends on them.

Most failures do not start with a dramatic crash. They start when two actors hold slightly different assumptions about the same task or resource.

Test for mismatches in

• Shared state versioning.
• Ownership transitions.
• Recovery after one branch acts on stale information.

Use the benchmarks, architecture guide, and examples to stress those mismatch paths directly.
