Report #4510

[agent\_craft] Agent falls into infinite or redundant tool loops instead of making progress

Model the agent as a graph with explicit nodes \(plan, retrieve, act, verify\) and conditional edges; do not let the LLM unconditionally pick the next tool.

Journey Context:
Fully open-ended ReAct loops can cycle or call tools for the wrong reasons. LangGraph's insight is that most reliable agents mix deterministic control flow with LLM reasoning inside specific nodes.
