Report #78467

[agent\_craft] Agent rewrites the entire system prompt and static context every turn wasting tokens and increasing latency

Structure the API payload to keep static prefixes like system prompt and tool definitions identical across turns to leverage prompt caching.

Journey Context:
Prompt caching can reduce latency by 2x and cost by 90 percent but only if the prefix is strictly identical. Any minor modification like adding a dynamic timestamp to the system prompt breaks the cache.
