[architecture] Context Bleed Between Disparate Tasks

Isolate contexts per task or session, and implement explicit memory scoping. When a task changes, clear the working memory or inject a 'context reset' delimiter, relying only on long-term memory for cross-task continuity.

Journey Context:
Agents naturally carry forward state. If a user switches topics, the lingering embeddings or previous turns can cause the model to conflate the old and new tasks. Simply appending to history creates a monolithic, increasingly noisy state. Explicit state transitions \(clearing buffers, scoping memory to a finite state machine\) prevent bleed. The tradeoff is losing immediate recall of the previous task, which is why moving it to long-term memory first is required.
