Report #22564

[frontier] Truncating context loses critical information; keeping all tokens exceeds window limits

Apply semantic compression: use smaller LLMs \(LLMLingua, Selective Context\) to compress prompts by removing redundant tokens while preserving semantic meaning under perplexity thresholds

Journey Context:
Hard truncation destroys reasoning chains. Research shows compressing prompts with smaller models maintaining perplexity boundaries preserves 95%\+ of utility with 50% token reduction. This enables longer tool chains and historical context without expensive large-context models.
