Report #59692

[synthesis] Agent considers a multi-step task complete after one sub-tool returns a success code, ignoring subsequent failures

Implement a DAG-based task completion validator that checks the state of all prerequisite nodes, not just the final action taken.

Journey Context:
When an agent is given a compound task like creating a file, committing it, and pushing it, it might execute the steps sequentially. If the commit succeeds but the push fails due to network, the agent might stop and report success because its last explicit action returned zero, or it might lack a robust mechanism to verify the final end-to-end state. The agent internal task complete trigger is too loosely coupled to the actual desired outcome. The tradeoff is complexity: building a DAG validator is harder than a linear script. But without it, partial completion is reported as total success.
