Research direction
Start with fixtures/terminal_agent/agent.py and locate how conversation history is assembled and sent each turn. Add history trimming once it passes a threshold, preserving the most recent turns, and add a unit test for the history-trimming function. Done means a long task stays under a set size while recent turns remain intact.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Context
The agent resends the whole conversation every turn. Long tasks grow until they hit the model's context limit or the trial's token budget.
What to do
Truncate or summarise old tool outputs once the history passes a threshold, keeping the most recent turns intact.
Done when
A long task stays under a set size, with a unit test on the history-trimming function.
