Report #10559

[agent\_craft] Agent hallucinates or fails to synthesize when RAG dumps massive raw documentation into the context window

Use a two-stage retrieval pipeline: first retrieve chunks, then use a fast, small model or extractive summarizer to compress/extract only the sentences relevant to the specific query before injecting into the main agent's context.

Journey Context:
Raw RAG assumes the LLM can needle-in-a-haystack perfectly. In practice, high volume raw context increases attention complexity and latency. Pre-compression trades a small upfront compute cost for massive savings in main agent context budget and reasoning accuracy.
