[frontier] Agents re-transmitting full context windows on every turn, hitting token limits and latency

Implement diff-based context protocols where agents transmit only the semantic 'delta' or changes to shared state since last sync

Journey Context:
As agent contexts grow \(tool outputs, multi-turn reasoning\), sending full history every time explodes token usage. Leading edge systems \(similar to Google Docs' operational transform or JSON Patch RFC 6902\) are adopting differential updates—agents maintain a base state and exchange compressed 'edits' \(additions, deletions, mutations\). This is critical for long-horizon agent loops where context windows would otherwise overflow.
