[agent\_craft] Agent calls tools one at a time and wastes turns

Issue independent tool calls in parallel whenever they have no data dependencies. Combine read, search, and status checks in one turn; never chain serial round-trips for work that could be batched.

Journey Context:
Sequential calls multiply latency and burn context with repeated task-state overhead. Parallelism requires understanding dependencies—two reads of different files are independent, but a read followed by an edit of the same file is not. The discipline pays off most in exploration phases where the agent needs many facts to form a plan.
