[agent\_craft] Burned turns on independent reads and greps

Batch independent tool calls in the same response; only serialize when the next call logically depends on the previous result.

Journey Context:
Modern tool-use APIs allow multiple function calls per assistant turn. Serializing a Read, a Grep, and a test command into three turns triples latency and grows context unnecessarily. The constraint is causal dependency: do not parallelize 'write then verify' because the verifier needs the new state. Discovery operations—Glob, Grep, Read of separate files—are almost always parallelizable.
