Report #13735

[agent\_craft] Agent context window fills up, causing truncation of early critical state or tool outputs

Implement rolling compaction: once context hits 70% capacity, summarize older tool outputs into a structured 'Execution Log' while preserving exact code snippets and error messages verbatim.

Journey Context:
Naive truncation destroys state. Full summarization loses details needed for debugging \(e.g., exact stack traces\). The tradeoff is between saving tokens and preserving fidelity. Summarizing the intent and result of tool calls \(e.g., 'Searched file X, found function Y doing Z'\) while keeping exact code blocks verbatim is the optimal balance for coding agents.
