Report #4209

[agent\_craft] Agent choked on its own tool output because it dumped raw results into the main context

Condense large tool outputs before they enter the main context: use programmatic filtering, a code sandbox, or a subagent to return only the extracted insight.

Journey Context:
Context bloat has two independent sources: too many tool definitions loaded upfront, and too much raw result text kept in the conversation. Even a small number of verbose logs can drown the signal. Processing results locally — filtering, aggregating, or summarizing — keeps the parent context lean so the model continues reasoning from signal rather than noise.
