Report #36348

[synthesis] Identical agent runs produce different behaviors due to non-deterministic truncation of large tool outputs in context

Hash and cache tool outputs by query; if context limits force truncation, store full result in external reference \(UUID\) and inject only the hash \+ summary into LLM context

Journey Context:
Debuggers assume deterministic replay but truncation points vary by previous context length. External reference ensures idempotent reasoning.
