Report #16387

[architecture] Context window bloat from full history synchronization

Implement structured state summaries and diff-based updates. Pass only the delta \(what changed\) and a compressed schema of the current state, rather than the full conversational history.

Journey Context:
Agents need context to act, but LLM context windows are finite and expensive. Naively appending the full transcript of Agent A into Agent B's prompt quickly hits token limits and degrades the LLM's ability to find relevant instructions \(needle-in-a-haystack\). Extracting structured state \(e.g., JSON objects representing current entities\) and passing only updates preserves context space for reasoning.
