Report #46396

[agent\_craft] Agent fails to recall facts from earlier in a multi-day project or across sessions

Implement a structured long-term memory store \(e.g., vector DB or scratchpad file\) and a ritual: at the end of every task, extract key facts/constraints into the store; at the start of a new task, query the store with the current goal.

Journey Context:
Relying solely on the context window means all knowledge is ephemeral. If the session resets, the agent forgets everything. However, dumping everything into a vector DB without structure makes retrieval noisy. The fix is a structured extraction step \(e.g., 'User prefers X library', 'Bug Y is caused by Z'\) that writes to a persistent store, and a retrieval step that injects relevant facts into the system prompt.
