Report #41115

[frontier] Agents repeat identical tool failure patterns across sessions because error context is lost on restart

Implement error memory banks: persist structured error signatures \(tool\_name \+ error\_type \+ input\_hash \+ context\_embedding\) to a vector store; on new sessions, retrieve top-k similar historical failures before tool selection using vector similarity; implement circuit-breaker logic that refuses tool combinations with >3 historical failures in similar contexts \(similarity >0.85\); include error resolution hints in the retrieved context

Journey Context:
Stateless agents are amnesic about failures. Simple logs don't prevent repetition. The error memory bank acts as organizational memory \(like incident post-mortems\). Vector similarity matches current contexts to past failures. Critical for API-heavy agents where rate limits or schema changes cause repeated outages. Prevents 'groundhog day' debugging across sessions and enables 'organizational learning' for agent swarms.
