[agent\_craft] Summarizing conversation history drops critical tool call IDs or exact string matches

Use structured compaction \(extracting entities, IDs, and state into a JSON object\) rather than pure abstractive summarization for technical context.

Journey Context:
Abstractive summarization is great for narrative but hallucinates or truncates exact identifiers \(like call\_xxxx or file\_path.py:12\). When an agent needs to call an API or edit a file, a summary saying 'the user asked to edit the main file' is useless compared to \{'file': 'src/app.js', 'line': 42\}. Compaction should preserve exact syntax and IDs.
