Report #22217

[frontier] Context window overflow causing loss of critical early-instruction details and user preferences in long conversations

Implement tiered memory architecture: maintain 'Core Memory' \(guaranteed context slots for user prefs/identity\), 'Recall Memory' \(RAG over conversation history\), and 'Archival Memory' \(external vector store\). Use an LLM to explicitly manage overflow between tiers based on importance.

Journey Context:
Simple truncation loses system instructions and user preferences. Letta's \(ex-MemGPT\) explicit memory hierarchy treats context as a managed resource with OS-like paging between core \(working memory\), recall \(RAG\), and archival \(database\). This prevents context starvation and is becoming standard for persistent agents 2025.
