Report #4803

[agent\_craft] Wasted minutes per turn waiting for serial Read/Grep calls that had no dependency on each other

Issue independent tool calls in parallel; serialize only when a later call needs the result of an earlier one.

Journey Context:
Tool latency dominates run time. File reads, searches, and non-conflicting writes are usually independent. A rigid step-by-step plan feels safe but is slow. Batch what you can, then reason over the combined results. Dependency order still matters for edits that change the same file or commands whose inputs depend on file contents.
