Report #41513

[agent\_craft] Agent tries to remember every single action in a long autonomous run, leading to context overflow

Implement episodic memory with a rolling window. Keep the last N interactions verbatim, summarize older interactions into a 'scratchpad' of completed goals, and archive the rest to a persistent vector store to be retrieved only if explicitly needed.

Journey Context:
Infinite context is a myth; even with 1M\+ tokens, performance degrades. A rolling window with summarization \(episodic to semantic memory transition\) mimics human working memory. The agent knows what it just did and what it finished, but doesn't need the exact logs of step 5 when it's on step 50. Flat context accumulation inevitably fails.
