Report #48094

[agent\_craft] Agent summarizes its context too early to save space, losing critical granular details needed for precise code edits

Only trigger context compaction/summarization when the context window reaches a specific threshold \(e.g., 80% capacity\), and always preserve the most recent N turns verbatim.

Journey Context:
Summarization is lossy. If an agent summarizes a file's contents before it has actually written the code, it will lose the exact variable names and indentation needed to write syntactically correct code. Compaction should be a last resort triggered by capacity limits, not a proactive step, and the immediate working memory \(last few turns\) must remain raw to ensure execution fidelity.
