Report #15312

[agent\_craft] Massive tool outputs like failing test suites consume the entire context window with repetitive errors

Apply deterministic post-processing to tool outputs before injecting them into context \(e.g., truncating stack traces, deduplicating test failures, showing git diff --stat before full diff\).

Journey Context:
Raw tool outputs are extremely noisy. A failing test suite might print 1000 lines of identical stack trace. If injected raw, it pushes useful context out of the window. Pre-processing reduces token count by 10x without losing the signal \(the actual error message\), preventing context overflow and distraction.
