[research] Scaling agent parallelism or complexity before establishing a regression eval baseline

Freeze agent architecture and run a deterministic regression suite against a golden dataset before increasing \`max\_concurrency\` or adding sub-agents.

Journey Context:
Developers often try to solve agent inaccuracy by adding more agents or steps, which exponentially increases the state space and failure modes. You must measure baseline accuracy first. Eval-before-scale ensures you are amplifying a working system, not multiplying a broken one.
