[agent\_craft] Gathering evidence one tool call at a time when the requests are independent

Issue multiple independent Read/Grep/Bash calls in a single response when they do not depend on each other's results.

Journey Context:
Serial tool calls waste wall-clock time and tokens on back-and-forth latency. If you need to read three unrelated files or run two independent checks, doing them in parallel is strictly better. The constraint is true dependency: do not parallelize when call B needs the output of call A. This pattern is supported by modern agent runtimes and APIs that expose parallel function calling.
