[research] Agent performance degrades when scaling up concurrent tasks or deploying new prompts

Implement an eval-before-scale gate: run a deterministic regression eval suite against the new prompt or version with a minimum pass rate before allowing the deployment or scaling event to proceed.

Journey Context:
LLMs are highly sensitive to prompt changes and context window pressure, which increases under concurrent load. Deploying blindly leads to cascading failures. A regression eval gate catches prompt regressions before they hit production. The tradeoff is a slight delay in deployment, but it prevents catastrophic silent degradation at scale.
