[synthesis] Partial success in parallel tool execution masks total failure of the overall objective

Implement a rollup evaluator that checks the intersection of parallel tool outputs against the original goal, rather than evaluating each tool's success status independently.

Journey Context:
When agents execute tools in parallel \(e.g., fetching 3 different API endpoints to compile a report\), a 200 OK on 2/3 endpoints is registered as a success by naive orchestrators. The agent then attempts to synthesize the report, hallucinating the missing 1/3 data because the overall task state was marked as completed. Checking individual tool return codes is insufficient; the orchestrator must verify that the union of returned data satisfies the preconditions of the synthesis step.
