Report #3661

[agent\_craft] Dumped irrelevant logs, full files, or conversation history into context

Summarize and filter context before using it; request specific line ranges, fields, or frames, not whole records.

Journey Context:
Context windows are finite and attention is not uniform. Pasting 500-line stack traces, entire config files, or long chat histories dilutes the signal and can push out the actual bug location. The agent should extract the relevant frame, variable, or snippet. If the user dumps a wall of text, parse it into structured facts first.
