Report #83508

[synthesis] Agent silently drops critical constraints when chaining multiple function calls

Implement constraint echoing - force the agent to restate all active constraints before each tool call in multi-step chains

Journey Context:
Most agent frameworks treat each tool call as stateless; the agent assumes context carries forward but doesn't verify. The fix comes from database transaction theory \(checking invariants before operations\) applied to LLM context. Alternatives like full context replay are too expensive; constraint echoing is O\(n\) vs O\(n²\).
