Report #7365

[agent\_craft] Agent loop crashes or degrades because conversation history grows unbounded, eventually hitting the context window limit unexpectedly

Implement a sliding window or summarization compaction step \*before\* hitting the context limit, triggered at a safe threshold \(e.g., 75% capacity\).

Journey Context:
Agents in long loops \(like debugging\) accumulate history rapidly. If you wait until the API throws a context length error, the agent crashes or fails unpredictably. Proactive compaction at a safe threshold ensures the agent always has room to think and call tools, maintaining a smooth autonomous loop without abrupt failures.
