Report #4203

[agent\_craft] Agent loop was slow because independent reads and searches were serialized

Issue independent tool calls — file reads, searches, and lookups — in parallel within the same turn whenever they have no data dependencies.

Journey Context:
Each serialized tool call costs a full round-trip. Independent operations such as reading several unrelated files or running multiple searches can be batched concurrently. The OpenDev system explicitly exposes parallel batch execution for exactly this case, while keeping dependent operations like create-directory-then-write-file strictly serial.
