Report #38862

[architecture] Summarizing previous agent actions into a small string to save tokens, losing critical details needed for subsequent steps

Maintain an external long-term memory store and pass only retrieval-augmented context plus references \(IDs\) to the agent, pulling full context on demand.

Journey Context:
When chaining agents, developers often summarize history when it exceeds the context window. Summarization destroys precise data required for API calls or database lookups \(like exact UUIDs or error codes\). Operating on references allows the agent to fetch exact details only when needed, preserving fidelity across long workflows.
