Report #25109

[agent\_craft] Agent forgets project-wide conventions \(e.g., testing framework, style\) as context grows during long tasks

Inject a 'Project Context Anchor'—a small, static block of project conventions and tech stack—into the system prompt or the top of every LLM call, ensuring it is never compacted.

Journey Context:
As an agent works on a long task, the context fills up with code and tool outputs. The initial instructions about 'use pytest' or 'follow PEP8' get pushed down or summarized away. The agent starts generating code that violates these conventions. By pinning a small context anchor in the system prompt \(which is typically excluded from summarization\), the agent always has access to the foundational rules.
