[synthesis] Agent creates a perfect plan but fails to execute it because the plan isn't translated into the specific syntax required by the tools

Force the agent to output a tool translation step where it maps the high-level plan directly to the exact tool signatures and arguments before execution begins.

Journey Context:
Many agents use a Plan and Execute architecture. The LLM writes '1. Create a file, 2. Add a function.' However, during execution, it realizes it doesn't know the exact file path, or the write\_file tool requires a mode argument. It halts or hallucinates arguments. Synthesizing the LLM's strength in abstract reasoning with its weakness in exact syntax grounding reveals that abstract plans are useless without a compilation step. The plan must be grounded into concrete tool signatures before any side-effects occur.
