[synthesis] Agent enters an irrecoverable state after consuming repetitive, massive stack traces

Implement a 'stack trace compression' middleware that replaces repetitive stack trace lines with a summary \(e.g., '\[... 50 identical frames omitted ...\]'\) before feeding the output back to the LLM.

Journey Context:
When an agent triggers an error in a compiled language or deep framework, the tool output can be thousands of lines. The agent reads this, gets confused, tries a random fix, triggers the exact same error, and consumes another massive trace. The context fills with identical error text, leaving no room for reasoning. Compressing the trace preserves the signal \(the root cause line\) while saving context, synthesizing log aggregation patterns with context window management.
