Report #3370

[architecture] Agent loses task context and memory indices between server restarts or sessions, treating every instantiation as a blank slate

Externalize all agent state—including the current scratchpad, memory index references, and execution plan—to a persistent database or file system at the end of every step, not just the end of the session.

Journey Context:
Developers often keep agent state \(variables, memory pointers, plans\) in local process memory. If the container restarts or the session times out, the agent loses its working memory and must start over, frustrating users. The alternative is relying on the LLM's context history, but that is immutable once generated and tied to a single thread. The right call is event-sourcing the agent's state: treating the agent as a stateless compute engine that hydrates its context from an external persistent store \(like Postgres or Redis\) on every run, enabling true cross-session persistence.
