[architecture] Passing the entire conversation history during every agent handoff exhausting context windows

Implement context summarization at handoff boundaries. The outgoing agent generates a structured summary of relevant state, which replaces the raw history for the incoming agent.

Journey Context:
Naive multi-agent systems append messages continuously. This scales poorly in token usage, increases latency, and dilutes the LLM's attention. Summarization acts as a compression algorithm, preserving only the high-signal state needed for the next step.
