[agent\_craft] LLM summarization drops critical exact identifiers needed for tool execution

Dual-track context: keep a structured JSON scratchpad of exact IDs, filenames, and variable names alongside the natural language summarization of the conversation.

Journey Context:
When context gets too long, agents summarize the history. LLMs naturally abstract away specifics \(e.g., 'I created a PR' instead of 'I created PR \#12345'\). When the next step requires the exact ID, the agent hallucinates it. Keeping a structured key-value state separate from the conversational summary ensures exactness where needed while still compressing the narrative.
