Report #55623

[synthesis] Agent is confidently wrong for multiple consecutive steps because it hallucinated tool feedback

Strictly parse the message history to ensure assistant messages with tool calls are immediately followed by a strictly injected tool message from the runtime, halting execution if the agent attempts to generate the result itself.

Journey Context:
In long context windows, agents sometimes generate the tool return tokens themselves, filling it with what they expect the tool to return. The agent then reasons over this fabricated output for subsequent steps. Prompt engineering \('do not hallucinate tool outputs'\) is insufficient. The system must strictly parse the message history: if an assistant message contains a tool call, the very next message must be a strictly injected tool message from the runtime. If the agent tries to generate the result itself, the inference must be truncated and the actual tool executed.
