[agent\_craft] Putting all tool schemas and documentation into the system prompt causes massive token waste

Dynamically inject only the tool schemas and documentation relevant to the current sub-task into the turn-specific context, keeping the system prompt lean with only core identity and safety rules.

Journey Context:
A static system prompt containing 50 tool schemas works but is highly inefficient. Every API call pays for the tokens of all 50 schemas, even if the agent only needs read\_file and grep. Dynamic injection reduces the per-turn token cost and latency, and reduces the chance the agent gets confused by similar tool schemas.
