[frontier] Context window overflow in long agent sessions with redundant or semantically similar content

Replace sliding windows with semantic diffing: compute embedding similarity between messages to identify and remove semantic duplicates while preserving critical deltas

Journey Context:
Standard approaches \(sliding window, truncation, naive summarization\) lose important details or keep redundant information. Semantic diffing treats context as a set of semantic vectors; if new messages contain information semantically close to existing content, the older version is pruned. This maintains information density. Tradeoff: requires embedding computation overhead. Particularly effective for iterative coding agents where error messages and fixes contain high semantic overlap across turns.
