Report #97002

[agent\_craft] Agent fills context with recursive planning and meta-reasoning instead of taking action

Implement a strict Plan-Execute architecture where the planner outputs a concise, immutable plan, and the executor just reads the current step, executes it, and updates state, discarding the executor's internal monologue from the planner's context.

Journey Context:
Single-agent ReAct loops often spiral into 'I should do X. To do X, I need Y. Let me think about Y.' Splitting into Planner and Executor isolates the reasoning. The Planner only sees step results, not the executor's tool-calling noise, preventing context rot.
