[agent\_craft] Parallel tool call collisions on stateful resources \(e.g., read and write same file in one turn\)

Analyze the tool\_calls batch for resource dependencies \(e.g., same 'file\_path'\) before execution; if a read and write target the same resource, force sequential execution \(read first, then write\) or reject the parallel batch and require single-tool mode for that turn

Journey Context:
OpenAI API supports parallel tool calls, but agents must respect state dependencies. Naive parallel execution of stateful operations causes race conditions or stale reads. This is the 'Deterministic execution order' pattern for stateful tools.
