Multi-Agent Consistency: Distributed Systems Challenges Return with Autonomous Agents
The article explores four critical questions for multi-agent consistency: task decomposition rationale, structured handoffs with versioned snapshots, conflict resolution via evidence-based contracts, and verifiable completion criteria. It argues multi-agent systems reintroduce classic distributed systems challenges—identity, leases, idempotency, compensation—and require runtime proofs over model assertions.
