[frontier] LLMs hallucinating invalid arguments for complex tool schemas

Implement Two-Phase Tool Invocation \(Draft then Validate\). The LLM drafts arguments; a deterministic Pydantic/JSON-schema validator checks it; if invalid, the error is fed back to the LLM for a constrained retry before execution.

Journey Context:
Relying solely on the LLM to output perfect JSON on the first try fails on complex schemas, especially with smaller, faster models. Adding a programmatic validation loop catches type errors or missing fields, drastically reducing runtime crashes without needing a larger, more expensive model.
