Report #4521

[agent\_craft] System prompt is thousands of tokens long yet the model still violates output format

Move constraints into tool/function schemas and structured output specs; keep the system prompt short and role-focused.

Journey Context:
A giant system prompt competes with task context for limited attention and is easily ignored. Function schemas give the model a concrete grammar to emit, and providers fine-tune for schema adherence.
