Report #5720
[agent\_craft] Agent runs test suite and loads massive failure logs into context, pushing out the actual source code needed to fix the bug
Truncate or summarize test outputs aggressively. Only inject the specific failing test name and the relevant lines of the stack trace into the main context. If more log context is needed, the agent should use a tool to search the log file.
Journey Context:
When an agent runs tests, the output can be hundreds of lines long, including passing tests, deprecation warnings, and full stack traces. Injecting this raw output into the context window is a token disaster. The agent only needs the failing test name and the exact line that threw the error. The fix requires a preprocessing step that parses the test output and extracts only the actionable signal, a core component of well-designed Agent Computer Interfaces \(ACI\).
