Report #44142

[frontier] Long-horizon agent episodes exceed context windows when maintaining full screenshot history per step

Apply visual context compression via screenshot differencing: replace historical screenshots with delta representations or visual state summaries; retain full resolution only for current step while compressing past observations

Journey Context:
Naive approaches keep all screenshots hitting token limits; text descriptions lose layout; visual diffing preserves change information with fewer tokens; advanced implementations use visual state embeddings rather than raw pixels for history
