perf: 2.8x faster task execution - parallel tools, no ghost chasing

Browse Source 
Re-engineered tool execution pipeline inspired by Claude Code, Cursor,
OpenHands, and Aider patterns:

- System prompt overhaul: explicit tool selection + anti-ghost-chasing rules
- Parallel tool execution via Promise.all (was sequential for loop)
- Bash command ghost detection with cached results on repeated calls
- Planning nudge injection before AI starts
- Bash tool marked as LAST RESORT in tool definitions
- Extended session state with arbitrary tool result caching

Benchmark: 47 turns -> 17 turns, 5min -> 2min, 0 ghost chasing

## [2.0.0] - 2026-05-06
### ⚡ Performance
#### Agentic Task Execution Overhaul (Claude Code / Cursor / OpenHands Inspired)
Re-engineered the tool execution pipeline to eliminate ghost chasing, reduce tool turns,
and maximize parallelism. Benchmarked against Claude Code, Cursor, OpenHands, and Aider patterns.
**Before (v2.0.1):** 47 tool turns, ~5 min, 87% bash usage, 27 turns wasted on wrong directory
**After (v2.0.2):** 17 tool turns, ~2 min, proper tool selection, 0 ghost chasing
Changes:
1. **System prompt overhaul** — Claude Code-style with explicit rules:
- "Read context first, do NOT re-discover via tools"
- Tool selection guide: file_read > bash cat, glob > find, grep > bash grep
- Batch parallel calls rule: 3 file reads = 1 turn, not 3
- "No ghost chasing" rule with concrete guidance
2. **Parallel tool execution** — Replaced sequential `for` loop with `Promise.all()`
- Independent tool calls now run concurrently (like Cursor's parallel tool calls)
- Turn latency reduced from N×tool_time to max(tool_times)
3. **Bash ghost detection** — Extended ghost chasing detection beyond file_read
- Tracks bash command signatures (command + first 120 chars)
- Returns cached result on 3rd+ identical call
- Prevents the "run same failing command 10 times" pattern
4. **Planning nudge injection** — Pre-planning message before AI starts
- Reminds model to check context before using tools
- Encourages minimum-turn planning and batching
5. **Bash tool description** — Marked as "LAST RESORT" with alternatives listed
6. **Extended session state** — New cacheToolResult/getCachedToolResult for arbitrary tool caching
### 🎉 Major Release - Ruflo Integration Complete
