Report #46829

[frontier] Agent gradually ignores hard constraints after 40\+ turns despite explicit reminders

Compute cosine similarity between the current context window embedding and the original system prompt embedding; trigger an identity resurgence protocol \(re-inject compressed constitutional essence\) when similarity drops below 0.85 threshold

Journey Context:
Turn-count based refresh fails because drift is semantic, not temporal; keyword detection misses conceptual drift; embedding distance captures the vibe shift before behavioral violations occur; tradeoff is marginal compute cost \(one embedding per turn\) vs catastrophic constraint forgetting in high-stakes sessions

environment: production LLM agents with 100k\+ token context windows · tags: semantic-drift embedding-similarity context-window long-session identity-resurgence · source: swarm · provenance: https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.06839 \(LLMLingua context compression\) and https://python.langchain.com/docs/integrations/text\_embedding/
