Report #39609

[agent\_craft] Agent loads massive log files into context to find an error, burning tokens and obscuring the signal

Delegate search and filtering to bash tools \(grep, awk, jq\) and only load the result into the context window.

Journey Context:
LLMs are pattern matchers but inefficient at linear scanning of raw logs. Loading 10k lines of logs pushes useful context out and costs compute. Using the execution environment as a pre-processor extracts the needle \(the stack trace\) and presents it efficiently to the model.
