[agent\_craft] Parallel tool calls causing race conditions on shared resources

Analyze call dependencies using static analysis or explicit dependency declarations; execute dependent tools sequentially while allowing independent tools to run in parallel; implement file-lock or resource-lock primitives for shared state

Journey Context:
OpenAI's parallel function calling improves latency but assumes independence. When tools access the same database records or files, parallel execution causes race conditions or deadlocks. Dependency graph construction allows maximum parallelism while ensuring safety. This is critical for file-system or database manipulation agents.
