[research] Agent failure rate spikes when scaling to parallel execution

Run a deterministic regression eval suite at the target concurrency level before scaling up. Use rate-limited, mocked tool environments to isolate concurrency-induced context mixing from external API rate limits.

Journey Context:
Agents often pass sequential evals but fail in parallel due to shared state leakage, context window collisions, or rate-limit-induced retry loops that exhaust token limits. Eval-before-scaling means you must test the system under load, not just the logic. Mocking the tool layer is critical so you don't hit external API rate limits, which masks the true concurrency bugs in your agent's state management.
