Report #2619

[architecture] Agent forgets user preferences and project facts across sessions

Separate ephemeral session memory from persistent identity and project memory. Serialize persistent memory with structured schemas and hydrate it at session start.

Journey Context:
Many agents start each session with a clean slate because they treat memory as prompt history. Cross-session persistence needs explicit design: a user profile \(preferences, constraints\), a project memory \(codebase facts, architectural decisions\), and session memory \(current task\). Without schemas, persisted data becomes an unstructured blob that retrieval cannot target. Structured schemas also let you validate, diff, and migrate memory as the agent evolves.
