[synthesis] Agent plans parallel tool calls assuming a specific execution order, but they execute concurrently corrupting state

If the agent emits multiple tool calls in a single turn, strictly enforce dependency analysis. If tool B depends on the output or side effect of tool A, force the agent to execute them sequentially.

Journey Context:
To speed up execution, many agent frameworks allow returning multiple tool calls at once. However, LLMs often output parallel calls that have implicit sequential dependencies \(e.g., mkdir and write\_file inside that dir\). If the framework executes them concurrently, write\_file might fail or write to the wrong place. Explicit dependency resolution or forcing sequential execution for state-mutating tools prevents this race condition.
