[agent\_craft] Summarization compaction removes critical variable names and IDs needed for later steps

When implementing a context compaction step, enforce an entity preservation list \(e.g., specific file paths, variable names, API endpoints\) that must be included verbatim in the summary output.

Journey Context:
Standard LLM summarization tends to generalize and abstract, which is great for human reading but fatal for agents. If an agent summarizes a debugging session and loses the exact hex ID of a failing test, the next step will fail. The compaction pipeline must treat certain tokens as immutable state rather than semantic concepts to be summarized.
