Report #16969

[agent\_craft] Agent context window fills up with verbose tool outputs and past actions, causing truncation or failure

Implement a rolling compaction strategy: when context reaches 70% capacity, summarize the trajectory \(actions taken, results, current state\) into a concise scratchpad and discard the raw outputs.

Journey Context:
Naively keeping all raw tool outputs quickly exhausts the window. Summarizing too early loses crucial details like exact error messages. A rolling compaction at a threshold preserves the trajectory's narrative while freeing up space for new actions.
