Report #15139

[agent\_craft] Agent summarizes conversation history too early losing exact variable names

Do not summarize the conversation history until the current logical task \(e.g., implementing a feature, fixing a specific bug\) is complete. Use a sliding window of the last N exact interactions for immediate context, and summarize only completed phases.

Journey Context:
Continuous background summarization seems like a good way to manage context, but it introduces information loss at every step. If an error code \`ERR\_4021\` is summarized to 'a database error', the agent cannot write the specific catch block for it. Delaying summarization to phase boundaries ensures exact details are preserved during the critical execution loop.
