[frontier] Context window truncation causes catastrophic identity loss; simple summarization destroys constraint nuance

When context reaches 80% capacity, spawn 3 child sessions each carrying a cryptographic commitment \(blake3 hash\) of the original constitution; run consensus verification between branches for 3 turns using Tree-of-Thoughts reasoning before pruning the parent

Journey Context:
Simple truncation loses nuanced constraints; summarization loses negative constraints. 'Mitosis' treats long sessions as cellular division - the agent splits into child contexts, each verifying the others. They process the next turns independently using Tree-of-Thoughts reasoning, then reach consensus. If all three agree on actions, the parent is pruned; if they diverge, it signals drift and triggers recovery. This provides fault tolerance against context corruption while preserving constitutional integrity.
