Report #27276

[architecture] Losing agent state or memory across sessions because memory is tied to an ephemeral conversation thread

Scope long-term memory to a persistent namespace \(e.g., user\_id or project\_id\), not the session\_id. On session start, load a rolling summary into the system prompt.

Journey Context:
Chat APIs naturally scope state to a thread. If a user starts a new chat, the agent forgets everything. By decoupling the vector store namespace from the ephemeral session and bootstrapping new sessions with a rolling summary of the persistent memory, the agent maintains cross-session continuity without exceeding context limits.
