[agent\_craft] I made tool calls one at a time and wasted turns on independent lookups

Issue independent tool calls together. If you need to read three unrelated files or run multiple independent searches, batch them in one turn rather than sequencing them.

Journey Context:
Sequential calls multiply latency and fragment reasoning. Parallel calls reduce wall-clock time and keep the model's working memory focused. Only serialize when one call's output is needed as another's input. Most modern tool-use APIs explicitly support multiple function calls in a single response for this reason.
