Report #3922

[agent\_craft] Compacted history drops exact file paths, IDs, or values the agent needs for the next step

Extract structured key-value facts before summarizing the narrative; keep a separate fact store that is never compacted.

Journey Context:
Narrative summaries are good for 'what happened' but terrible for 'the exact string'. A fact store containing paths, IDs, config values, and computed results, preserved as structured data, prevents the common failure where the agent knows it created a file but cannot name it. Separate what is compressible \(the story\) from what is not \(the data\).
