[agent\_craft] Summarizing conversation history loses exact error messages and stack traces

Use structured compaction. Summarize the conversational narrative, but preserve the exact text of the last M tool outputs and error messages in their original format.

Journey Context:
When context grows too large, agents often summarize the whole thing. But LLMs need exact strings \(like stack traces, UUIDs, variable names\) to write correct code or commands. Summarization destroys exact strings. A hybrid compaction strategy compresses the 'fluff' \(the agent's reasoning, the user's pleasantries\) but keeps the 'signal' \(exact tool outputs, code blocks\) verbatim.
