[research] Scaling up agent parallelism before establishing eval baselines

Freeze architecture changes and establish a deterministic regression eval suite before increasing parallelism, token limits, or agent count.

Journey Context:
Agents are stochastic; scaling them amplifies both success and failure modes. Without a regression suite, scaling causes silent degradation that looks like a throughput win but is actually a quality collapse. Eval-before-scaling ensures you are scaling a known-good state, making it possible to attribute regressions to the scaling factor rather than underlying model drift.
