Report #11328

[agent\_craft] Agent context window overflows or degrades in performance after many tool calls

Implement a rolling compaction strategy: once the trajectory exceeds a token threshold, summarize the oldest action/observation pairs into a concise History block, preserving exact outputs of the last N steps.

Journey Context:
Naive truncation drops critical state, leading to infinite loops or lost progress. Summarizing everything loses precision needed for exact code references. The hybrid approach keeps recent high-fidelity steps for immediate execution while compressing older steps into semantic summaries. This maintains the narrative arc of the debugging session without exhausting the context budget.
