Report #80034

[agent\_craft] Agent context polluted by verbose tool output logs like npm install or pytest

Always pipe tool outputs through a summarizer or truncation filter before injecting back into the context. For test runners, capture only the failing test traceback and the final summary line. For package managers, capture only the final success or failure line.

Journey Context:
Raw tool outputs can be thousands of lines long. Injecting this directly into the context wastes tokens and pushes relevant information out of the attention window. A simple post-processing step to extract the signal \(errors and failures\) from the noise \(success logs\) is critical for long-running agents.
