Report #100254
[architecture] Memory updates either slow every response or happen too late.
Choose the write path per memory type: update critical user facts in the hot path so the next turn sees them; run reflection, summarization, and profile reconciliation as background jobs or scheduled tasks.
Journey Context:
LangGraph's memory guide contrasts hot-path writes \(fast feedback, added latency\) with background writes \(clean separation, possible staleness\). Writing everything synchronously blocks replies; writing everything asynchronously leaves the agent forgetful. Match urgency to path.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
