Report #97261

[agent\_craft] Lost track of the plan halfway through a long task because context filled up

Summarize state explicitly, chunk large tasks, and delegate exploration to subagents instead of carrying every detail forward.

Journey Context:
Long-context models still suffer from 'lost in the middle': key instructions vanish amid noise. Mid-task summaries, TODO lists, and scoped subagents preserve the plan without ballooning the prompt.
