I can already prevent context pollution with subagents. How is this better?

Subagents do summarization - usually with the cheaper models like Haiku. Summarizing tool outputs doesn't work well because of the information loss: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2508.21433. Compression is different because we keep preserved pieces of context unchanged + we condition compression on the tool call intent, which makes it more precise.
