Report #9788

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts complex deterministic transformations, regex generation, or multi-step arithmetic directly in text generation

Externalize deterministic logic: have the agent write a Python script, execute it in a sandbox, and read the stdout, rather than trying to 'think' the output.

Journey Context:
LLMs are probabilistic text engines. Asking an LLM to count characters or do precise math is an anti-pattern. Writing a script trades a bit of latency for near-100% accuracy on deterministic tasks, keeping the context clean of failed reasoning steps.
