Report #24273

[agent\_craft] Over-summarizing project context and losing critical variable names, API schemas, or exact constraints

Use structured compaction \(e.g., JSON state objects or specific markdown templates\) rather than free-text summarization to preserve exact identifiers and constraints.

Journey Context:
Free-text summarization naturally drops exact names \(e.g., \`user\_id\` becomes 'the user identifier'\), leading to hallucinated API calls or broken code later. Structured state tracking ensures exact strings and schemas survive compaction, trading a bit of narrative fluency for deterministic accuracy.
