[agent\_craft] ReAct reasoning loops add unnecessary latency for deterministic file operations

Implement a 'fast path' router: if the task matches a deterministic pattern \(e.g., 'read file X'\), bypass the ReAct loop and use a direct tool chain or cached response; reserve ReAct for ambiguous tasks requiring observation.

Journey Context:
ReAct \(Reasoning \+ Acting\) serializes LLM calls \(Thought -> Action -> Observation\). For 'read me file X', the thought is redundant overhead. By pre-classifying tasks using a cheap classifier \(or regex on the query\) and routing to a 'deterministic executor', we reduce latency from ~3s to ~300ms for 80% of file operations. This requires maintaining two paths: a 'Planner' \(ReAct\) and a 'Router' \(direct\), with explicit handoff logic when ambiguity is detected.
