Report #46204

[agent\_craft] Agent forgets the current step in a multi-step plan because the plan was stated 10 turns ago and pushed out of immediate focus

Maintain an explicit 'Plan State' object \(e.g., a checklist\) in the working memory that gets updated and echoed in every turn, rather than relying on the LLM to infer the current step from the chat history.

Journey Context:
LLMs struggle to track implicit state over long horizons. A plan stated once is quickly buried. By forcing the agent to output and update a structured plan at the start or end of every response, the current state is always highly visible.
