Report #99805

[agent\_craft] Agents either plan without grounding or act without reasoning, leading to wrong tool calls.

Use a ReAct-style loop: generate an explicit reasoning trace, then the next action/tool call, then observe the result, and repeat. Keep the full trajectory in the same context window so the model can revise plans based on observations.

Journey Context:
Pure chain-of-thought can hallucinate facts; pure action sequences lack planning. ReAct interleaves Thought -> Action -> Observation, outperforming both on multi-hop QA and decision tasks. For coding agents, this means the model should explain why it is about to run a command or read a file before doing so, enabling diagnosis of bad tool choices.
