Report #71280

[agent\_craft] Agent context window fills up and crashes or degrades in performance

Implement a rolling compaction strategy. Instead of summarizing the entire conversation history at once, summarize older turns incrementally and keep the most recent N turns raw. Use a structured summary format \(e.g., 'Facts established', 'Current state', 'Dead ends tried'\).

Journey Context:
Naive summarization \(summarizing everything when hitting the limit\) causes catastrophic forgetting of recent details and introduces lag. Summarizing too early loses nuance. Rolling compaction preserves the high-fidelity recent context needed for immediate action while compressing older context into a structured, scannable format that prevents hallucination of past events.
