Report #68357

[agent\_craft] Compaction/summarization of conversation history loses exact variable names, UUIDs, and API endpoints

Before summarizing narrative context, extract exact string literals and identifiers into a structured scratchpad \(e.g., a JSON block or markdown table\). Summarize the narrative, but preserve the scratchpad verbatim in the context.

Journey Context:
Summarization models optimize for natural language fluency, which destroys exact token sequences. A specific function name like 'parse\_v2\_schema' becomes 'the parsing function', breaking downstream code execution. Separating symbolic data from narrative context allows safe compaction without losing programmatic precision.
