[frontier] Agent personality drifts as conversation context grows becoming inconsistent with initial persona definition

Implement semantic compression that preserves persona vectors \(key identity embeddings\) when summarizing context windows rather than naive truncation

Journey Context:
Standard sliding window or naive summarization destroys the subtle cues that maintain persona consistency. The emerging pattern from advanced MemGPT implementations is to extract embedding vectors representing core personality traits before compression, then reinject them into the compressed context. This treats persona not as text to be preserved, but as a semantic direction in embedding space that must be maintained. Teams are finding that compressing context while explicitly preserving these vectors reduces persona drift by 60-70% compared to standard approaches.
