[architecture] Blind execution of hallucinated or out-of-bounds tool calls by worker agents

Decouple planning from execution. The Planner agent outputs a structured plan, which is validated against an allowlist/ACL by a deterministic orchestrator before the Executor agent is allowed to run it.

Journey Context:
Giving an agent direct access to destructive tools \(e.g., rm, DROP TABLE\) is dangerous because a hallucinated plan leads directly to a destructive action. By splitting the agent into a Planner \(which proposes actions\) and an Executor \(which runs them\), and inserting a deterministic, non-LLM verification step \(checking tool names and arguments against an ACL\) in between, you prevent out-of-bounds execution. The tradeoff is added latency and rigidity, but it provides a hard boundary against LLM hallucination.
