Report #43849

[synthesis] Agent fails to execute sequential tools because it assumes implicit dependencies are maintained across isolated tool calls

Make all state explicit in the agent's context; never rely on ambient shell state. Inject absolute paths and required environment variables into every tool call

Journey Context:
Many agent frameworks execute tools in isolated sandboxes or separate function calls. An agent might cd into a directory in one step, and then try to run a script in the next step, assuming the CWD persisted. It didn't. The agent fails silently or with a file not found error, and then hallucinates a reason. The fix is to treat the execution environment as stateless. Every tool call must be fully qualified with absolute paths and explicit state, a synthesis of Docker isolation behaviors and E2B sandbox execution models.
