Report #9562

[architecture] Shared state object grows indefinitely with full conversation logs, causing context window overflow and high token costs

Implement state summarization or a sliding window on the shared context before passing it to the next agent, keeping only high-signal artifacts.

Journey Context:
Passing the entire history works initially but scales poorly. As the multi-agent conversation grows, token limits are hit. A dedicated summarizer step or a state reducer that compacts the history into a structured summary before handoff prevents context bloat while preserving intent. This is especially critical in long-running research or coding loops.
