[research] Scaling up agent parallelism before establishing eval baselines

Run a deterministic regression eval suite on a single agent instance first. Only scale concurrency or deploy to production after the p95 latency and success rate baselines are locked.

Journey Context:
It's tempting to throw more compute at an agent problem. But agents are stateful and non-deterministic. Scaling an unevaluated agent just multiplies costs and makes observability logs a noisy mess. Eval-before-scaling ensures you aren't just burning tokens on fundamentally flawed prompts or tool schemas.
