Report #54801

[agent\_craft] Summarizing past coding steps loses critical variable names and error traces

Use structured compaction \(e.g., JSON or typed schemas\) rather than free-text summarization for code state. Retain exact identifiers, signatures, and error messages verbatim, only summarizing the semantic intent.

Journey Context:
Free-text summarization naturally paraphrases, which destroys the exact string matches needed for code execution \(e.g., 'my\_variable\_2' becomes 'the second variable'\). Structured compaction preserves the AST-level details while dropping the conversational fluff, preventing NameErrors or hallucinated APIs down the line.
