Report #6978

[agent\_craft] Agent loses track of the task when summarizing long conversation histories into a single block

Use structured compaction \(extracting key facts, current state, and pending actions into a JSON or Markdown object\) instead of narrative summarization. Keep the most recent K turns verbatim.

Journey Context:
Narrative summarization \('The user asked to fix a bug, I tried X, it failed...'\) loses the precise state needed for code generation \(e.g., exact variable names, error traces\). It also introduces hallucination. Structured compaction extracts the delta \(what changed\) and preserves the state \(current file contents, error messages\) while discarding the conversational fluff. Keeping recent turns verbatim preserves the immediate reasoning chain.
