Report #103628

[agent\_craft] Agent treats all past conversation as equally retrievable memory

Maintain a small, authoritative working-memory block in the active context \(current task, active files, constraints\). Store episodic memory \(past sessions, resolved bugs, design decisions\) outside the window and retrieve it only when needed via embedding or keyword search.

Journey Context:
MemGPT formalizes an OS-like memory hierarchy: main context, external context, and recall storage. Past turns are noisy and grow without bound; loading them verbatim crowds out reasoning space. Working memory must be high-signal and frequently refreshed; episodic memory should be queried, not appended.
