[frontier] Context window overflow in long-running agent conversations with naive truncation

Implement hierarchical semantic compression: use embedding-deltas to detect information gain between turns, storing only semantic deltas and retrieving via hierarchical summarization trees

Journey Context:
Simple truncation loses critical details; recursive summarization loses nuance. The frontier approach uses 'surprise' detection via embedding distances—storing only semantically novel information as deltas. This maintains high-fidelity state in limited context windows better than naive methods, enabling long-horizon agent tasks.
