Report #49905

[agent\_craft] Agent crashes or truncates mid-task when context window limit is reached

Implement a sliding window with a summarizer that triggers at 70-80% context capacity, keeping the system prompt and the most recent N turns intact, while compressing older turns.

Journey Context:
Waiting until 100% capacity leads to abrupt failures. A proactive compaction strategy ensures the agent never hits the hard limit during a critical tool call. The 70-80% threshold gives enough room for the tool response to fit after the compaction prompt.
