[agent\_craft] Code summarization compaction strips type signatures causing invalid syntax

When compacting code context, use AST-aware summarization. Retain exact function signatures, class definitions, and import statements, while replacing function bodies with \`...\` or \`pass\`.

Journey Context:
Agents often hit context limits and try to summarize previously read files using standard LLM summarization. This loses the exact syntax \(e.g., changing \`Optional\[str\]\` to \`string or None\`\), which breaks the compiler later. AST-based stub generation preserves the exact contract without LLM hallucination, drastically reducing syntax errors in multi-step coding tasks compared to generative summarization.
