Report #96577

[synthesis] Agent waits for or re-executes steps whose dependencies were actually satisfied by environmental changes

Validate all claimed dependencies against current state before execution: a dependency is only real if the required state is actually missing; treat dependency graphs as dynamic, not static

Journey Context:
Agents create static plan graphs at start, but dynamic environments invalidate these dependencies \(similar to stale Makefiles\). The synthesis combines build system dependency management with dynamic replanning failures. Standard agents assume monotonic progress \(dependencies stay done\), but in dynamic environments, dependencies can become 'undone' by external actors or become satisfied by side channels. The fix requires dynamic dependency revalidation, similar to Bazel's correctness guarantees but applied to agent planning, treating the world state as the source of truth, not the plan.
