[agent\_craft] Context compaction summarization loses critical exact values like variable names or error codes

Use structured compaction instead of free-text summarization. Extract key entities like file paths, variable names, and error codes into a JSON or YAML scratchpad state object, and summarize only the semantic intent of the actions taken.

Journey Context:
Free-text summarization is lossy; an LLM will naturally paraphrase a specific error code to a generic connection error. Later, the agent needs the exact code. By splitting the context into structured state and semantic history, you get token savings and zero loss of operational data.
