Report #10562

[agent\_craft] Compaction or summarization of past conversation strips out exact identifiers, error codes, or variable names

Implement structured compaction. Instead of generic LLM summarization, extract a typed JSON scratchpad of entities \(file paths, variable names, error codes, API endpoints\) and append this structured state to the semantic summary.

Journey Context:
LLM summarization optimizes for semantic coherence but drops exact strings. When an agent needs to call a specific function, a summary saying 'tried the helper function' is useless. Structured state extraction ensures exact identifiers survive context compaction.
