[frontier] Free-text agent reflection causes non-deterministic plan updates and testing failures

Enforce JSON Schema for plan deltas \(add/remove/modify operations\) making replanning deterministic and unit-testable

Journey Context:
Agents often 'reflect' in free text, then hallucinate plan changes. By forcing structured output schemas for plan modifications \(e.g., \{"operation": "replace", "step\_id": 3, "new\_tool": "search"\}\), we make plan repair deterministic. This enables unit testing of planning logic and ensures agents follow strict protocols.
