[architecture] Letting the conversation grow until it hits the context limit, then truncating the oldest messages

Use rolling summarization \(compaction\) of past turns to preserve semantic meaning while freeing up token space for new interactions.

Journey Context:
Truncation destroys early context, which often contains the user's primary goal or system constraints. An agent that forgets the original objective halfway through a task is useless. Rolling compaction summarizes the oldest N turns into a single paragraph, preserving the 'what' and 'why' while dropping the conversational 'how'. This maintains the context window's utility indefinitely.
