Report #39791

[agent\_craft] Agent summarizes conversation too early, losing granular code details, or too late, hitting context limits and failing

Trigger context compaction based on token count thresholds \(e.g., 70-80% of window\) AND semantic boundaries \(end of a sub-task\). Keep raw recent turns and summarize older ones.

Journey Context:
Fixed-interval summarization cuts off mid-thought, breaking logical coherence. Waiting until 100% capacity risks API truncation or out-of-memory errors. Summarizing at semantic boundaries \(e.g., after a file is successfully written\) preserves the most relevant state while freeing up space for the next task.
