Replace the generic '[Old tool output cleared to save context space]'
placeholder with informative 1-line summaries that preserve the tool
name, key parameters, and outcome.
Before: [Old tool output cleared to save context space]
After: [terminal] ran `npm test` -> exit 0, 47 lines output
[read_file] read src/auth.py from line 40 (1,203 chars)
[search_files] content search for 'parse_token' in src/ -> 4 matches
Covers all built-in tools (terminal, read_file, write_file, search_files,
patch, browser_*, web_search, web_extract, delegate_task, execute_code,
skill_view, memory, todo, etc.) with a generic fallback for unknown tools.
Space savings are near-identical (~98.9% vs ~99.3% for placeholder) since
both replace large content with short text, but the new summaries carry
actual information: the model knows WHAT each tool did without re-reading
the full output.

Summary
Replace the generic
[Old tool output cleared to save context space]placeholder with informative 1-line summaries during the pre-compression pruning pass.Before:
After:
How it works
_summarize_tool_result()function generates per-tool-type summaries by parsing the tool name + arguments from the preceding assistant message'stool_calls_prune_old_tool_results()builds acall_id -> (tool_name, args)index, then calls the summarizer instead of inserting the generic placeholderBenchmark results
The model now knows what each tool did (file path, command, exit code, match count) without re-reading the full output.
Test plan
_prune_old_tool_resultsis internalPart of #9666.
