Report #52091

[agent\_craft] Summarizing conversation history loses critical exact identifiers and stack traces

Use dual-track compaction: maintain a semantic summary for narrative flow, but preserve a separate verbatim 'artifact buffer' of exact variable names, file paths, and error traces that must not be paraphrased.

Journey Context:
LLMs naturally abstract and generalize during summarization, which destroys the exactness required for code execution. If a traceback is summarized, the agent cannot grep for the exact error. Preserving verbatim strings in a structured format alongside the summary ensures semantic context is retained without losing operational precision.
