Report #45383

[frontier] Growing context windows cause attention dilution, latency spikes, and cost explosion; naive truncation loses critical state

Implement three-tier memory: episodic \(raw recent\), semantic \(LLM-distilled summaries\), procedural \(indexed skills\); use secondary LLM calls to compress episodic into semantic at regular intervals, preserving salience

Journey Context:
Infinite context is a mirage; attention decays. Summarization flattens nuance. Structured distillation into typed memories \(facts, user preferences, task history\) preserves utility without linear growth.
