Implement Context Compaction
Keep long agent sessions alive by compacting old conversation into structured summaries before the context window fills.
The Route
0/4 verifiedAdd token accounting
You cannot manage what the loop does not measure.
Design the structured summary format

Implement the compaction operation
Swap history for the digest without dropping the thread.
Prove continuity under compaction
The only test that matters: does the agent still know what it is doing?
