Report #85735

[agent\_craft] Context compaction/summarization strips out critical exact identifiers needed for later steps

Use structured compaction instead of generic summarization. When compacting, extract and preserve exact entities \(file paths, variable names, API endpoints\) into a structured 'Entity State' block, and only summarize the narrative logic.

Journey Context:
Naive summarization \(e.g., 'I edited main.py and installed react'\) loses the exact line numbers or dependency versions, forcing the agent to re-read files it already processed. The tradeoff is complexity of the compactor vs. accuracy. By separating the 'State' \(exact facts\) from the 'History' \(narrative\), you keep context small while preserving actionability.
