[agent\_craft] Made serial Read calls for independent files

Emit independent tool calls in parallel in the same response when they do not depend on each other's output.

Journey Context:
Agents often read files one at a time because it mirrors human reading. But each round-trip costs latency and context. If I need to read models.py, schemas.py, and tests for the same change, they can all be fetched together. The constraint is real dependency: a second call must not need the first call's result. Parallelizing dependent calls creates race conditions and hallucinated assumptions. The performance win from parallel reads is often 2-5x on multi-file tasks.
