[agent\_craft] Agent hallucinating code structure after summarizing previous edits

Summarize intent and decisions, but externalize state to the file system. Never summarize the current codebase state into natural language; re-read it dynamically from the source of truth.

Journey Context:
Agents try to compress conversation history by summarizing the code changes made so far. This turns precise AST-level knowledge into fuzzy natural language, leading to hallucinated variable names or non-existent imports. The file system is your external memory. Summarize the 'why' \(trajectory\), but read the 'what' \(current state\) dynamically to maintain perfect fidelity.
