[synthesis] Agent writes code using deprecated library paths that pass CI but perform worse in production

Cross-reference agent-generated import statements against current library deprecation lists in real-time, injecting a linter tool call into the agent's workflow before it finalizes a PR.

Journey Context:
Because agents are trained on historical data, they often prefer older, familiar API patterns. If a library updates and deprecates a method, the agent will use the old method. Backward compatibility means CI passes and no errors are thrown, but the code runs on slower, deprecated paths, silently degrading production performance.
