Fix Agent Context with Head/Tail + Memory, Not Summaries

Truncation breaks reasoning by forgetting history; summarization lacks control. Head/tail truncation preserves key context (first/last 100 chars), stores middle in retrievable memory, and offloads heavy tasks to sub-agents for reliable performance.
