[synthesis] Parallel tool execution causes hallucinated dependencies or rate limit spikes

Implement client-side concurrency limits for Claude's aggressive parallelization, and force sequential execution for Gemini to prevent hallucinated tool outputs.

Journey Context:
Claude 3.5 Sonnet aggressively parallelizes tool calls \(often 5\+ simultaneously\), which can overwhelm API rate limits. GPT-4o supports parallel calls but defaults to sequential if dependencies exist. Gemini 1.5 Pro struggles with parallel execution and often hallucinates the output of one tool to feed into another if asked to do them in parallel. Infrastructure must adapt to these distinct execution profiles.
