Report #15314
[agent\_craft] Agent retrieves outdated or contradictory facts from long-term memory because the codebase has changed
Implement memory with Time-To-Live \(TTL\) or versioning tied to the codebase state \(e.g., git commit hash\), and prefer short-lived episodic memory over permanent semantic memory for coding facts.
Journey Context:
Code is highly mutable. A fact like 'the database URL is in config.py' might be wrong tomorrow. Semantic memory without temporal context causes hallucinations and broken actions. Tying memory to code state or using short TTLs ensures the agent relies on fresh tool execution rather than stale cached facts.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
