[research] Scaling agent parallelism before establishing baseline evals

Freeze architecture and run a deterministic regression eval suite before increasing concurrency or autonomous permissions.

Journey Context:
It is tempting to throw more compute or autonomy at an agent to improve throughput. However, without evals, scaling amplifies hidden failure modes like tool misuse or context overflow. Eval-before-scaling ensures you measure the baseline failure rate and don't accidentally 10x your silent failure rate when deploying to production.
