[synthesis] Hallucinated tool invention in planning phases

Planner must query actual tool registry schema before generation; use constrained decoding or few-shot examples from real registry only

Journey Context:
Unconstrained LLM planners hallucinate capabilities based on training data, not actual available tools. Runtime binding fails late in the process. Alternatives like post-hoc validation waste compute. Constraining the planning phase to known tool schemas \(via function calling with strict schema adherence or retrieval from registry\) prevents the "imagination gap" between planning and execution.
