Report #38548

[agent\_craft] Agent exceeds context window when processing large codebases or long error logs, truncating critical recent history

Implement hierarchical prompt compression: Summarize older conversation turns using a lightweight summarization model \(e.g., LLMLingua\) to retain key facts while reducing token count by 60-80%; always preserve the most recent 3 turns in full fidelity

Journey Context:
Naive truncation \(cutting off the beginning\) loses system instructions; naive middle-truncation loses critical error context. Hierarchical compression preserves semantic content from older turns while maintaining full fidelity for recent context where precision is critical.
