Report #71551

[agent\_craft] Summarizing conversation history loses exact variable names, error traces, and code syntax, causing subsequent tool calls to fail

Use structured compaction: keep exact signatures, error messages, and code snippets verbatim. Only summarize natural language intent and discarded reasoning paths into prose.

Journey Context:
Agents often fail after a compaction step because a summarized error message \('file not found'\) loses the exact path, causing the agent to hallucinate or retry the wrong path. Compaction must preserve executable and verifiable artifacts verbatim while discarding the 'thinking' tokens and conversational filler.
