[agent\_craft] Agent loses track of original goal after long execution \(Context Rot\)

Implement a rolling compaction strategy where older messages are summarized, but the original goal/system prompt is \*always\* prepended to the summarized history.

Journey Context:
Agents often just append messages. When context gets too long, naive truncation drops the system prompt or early user intent. Summarization helps, but if you don't explicitly re-inject the top-level objective, the agent drifts. Re-injecting the goal ensures compaction doesn't lose the 'why'.
