Report #87481

[agent\_craft] Agent context overflows and crashes, or summarization triggers too early and loses critical granular details

Trigger context compaction based on token count thresholds \(e.g., at 70-80% of context window capacity\) rather than turn count, and use a sliding window that keeps the most recent N turns raw while summarizing older turns.

Journey Context:
Turn-based compaction fails because some turns are short \(e.g., 'read file X'\) and some are massive \(e.g., 'refactor module Y'\). Summarizing too early loses the exact code diffs needed for the next step; summarizing too late risks hitting the hard context limit and truncating the system prompt. A token-threshold approach with a sliding window preserves the immediate, high-fidelity working memory while safely compressing older history.
