Report #94637

[agent\_craft] Noisy tool outputs like build logs or directory listings fill up context window with irrelevant metadata

Post-process tool outputs before injecting them back into the context. Strip ANSI codes, truncate long logs to the tail, and filter out irrelevant columns.

Journey Context:
A raw npm install output includes progress bars, warnings, and tree structures that are useless for the LLM. The LLM only needs to know Success or the error stack trace. Pre-processing tool outputs saves thousands of tokens and prevents distraction from irrelevant noise.
