Report #60987

[agent\_craft] Rolling summary continuously summarizes the previous summary, leading to cascading hallucination

Periodically re-summarize the \*full\* raw history from scratch \(snapshot summarization\) rather than summarizing the summary, or keep a scratchpad of key facts separate from the narrative summary.

Journey Context:
Rolling summarization is cheap but compounds errors and loses low-frequency details. Snapshot summarization is more expensive but maintains fidelity. A hybrid approach: keep a structured 'memory scratchpad' \(key-value pairs\) that is never summarized, alongside a narrative summary.
