Report #40447

[agent\_craft] Agent hits context window limit mid-edit, truncating the system prompt or the file being edited

Implement a token budget manager that dynamically allocates percentages of the context window \(e.g., 10% system, 30% history, 40% current file, 20% retrieval\) and proactively triggers compaction or summarization when a category exceeds its budget.

Journey Context:
Most frameworks just append until they hit the hard limit, then apply a naive truncation that often cuts off the system instructions or the most recent tool output. Proactive budgeting ensures the most critical context \(the current task and the file being edited\) is never evicted by less critical context \(old retrieval chunks or early conversation\).
