[architecture] Reusing the same agent context across distinct user tasks, causing old context to pollute new answers

Scope memory to task boundaries. Use hierarchical memory: episodic \(task-scoped\) and semantic \(cross-task, distilled\). Clear the episodic context when the task changes, pushing only distilled summaries to semantic memory.

Journey Context:
LLMs are highly susceptible to sycophancy and context bleed. If a user switches from 'writing python' to 'planning a trip', the python context will unconsciously bias the trip planning. You must aggressively partition distinct tasks. When a task concludes, summarize the outcome into a compact semantic fact, save it, and wipe the working context to prevent cross-contamination.
