Report #103500

[agent\_craft] Long session context filled with old errors, abandoned approaches, and irrelevant files

Reset context when the task changes; keep project rules files short; delegate deep investigations to subagents that return only summaries.

Journey Context:
Context windows are finite and attention degrades as context grows. Anthropic frames context engineering as curating the smallest high-signal token set. Old failures and unrelated files act as noise. Subagents isolate exploration cost: the main session keeps only the distilled decision, not the full search trace.
