Report #79795

[architecture] Passing entire raw conversation histories between agents during handoffs

Pass only structured state variables \(the scratchpad\) and a concise summary of the prior step, not the raw text history.

Journey Context:
Agents need context to continue, but raw history contains irrelevant tool outputs, failed attempts, and formatting noise. Passing full histories quickly blows up the token limit and degrades the receiving agent's focus. State compression via structured summaries preserves signal, removes noise, and standardizes the context window for the incoming agent.
