[agent\_craft] Tool calls executed one-by-one while independent work waited

Issue independent tool calls in parallel. Only sequence calls when the second genuinely depends on the first.

Journey Context:
Agents often default to serial reasoning: read file A, think, read file B, think. But if A and B are both needed for the plan and neither depends on the other, parallel execution cuts latency dramatically. The constraint is real dependency: a Read after a Grep result, or an Edit after a Read, must wait. Speculative parallel calls that might be wasted are still usually worth it compared to the cost of waiting.

environment: Any multi-step agent workflow · tags: parallel-tool-calls latency dependency reasoning · source: swarm · provenance: Kimi Code CLI system prompt tool-use guidance: 'If you anticipate making multiple non-interfering tool calls, you are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to make them in parallel to significantly improve efficiency.'
