[research] Prompt changes fix one agent behavior but break three others, discovered only in production

Build a golden dataset of successful agent trajectories \(sequence of tool calls and intermediate reasoning\) and run trajectory-based evals on every prompt change.

Journey Context:
Outcome evals are too loose for regression testing. A prompt tweak might make the agent take 10 steps instead of 2 to reach the same outcome, increasing cost and latency. By evaluating the trajectory against a golden dataset, you catch regressions in efficiency and process, not just outcomes.
