Report #577

[agent\_craft] My agent calls tools one at a time and feels slow

Batch independent Read/Grep/Bash calls in a single response; only serialize when one call's output is required input for the next.

Journey Context:
Sequential tool loops burn latency and context. LLM tool-use APIs support multiple calls per turn, yet agents often serialize because step-by-step reasoning is easier. Most reads and searches are independent; batch them. Serialize only true dependencies like 'read test output, then edit the failing line'.
