Report #46876

[frontier] Context window overflow with irrelevant historical messages degrading reasoning

Implement a two-tier memory hierarchy using a small LLM \(e.g., Llama-3.1-8B\) as a context compressor to rank and filter chunks before they reach the main reasoning model

Journey Context:
Simple truncation loses critical recent information; vector similarity retrieval misses temporal dependencies. The frontier pattern runs a cheap local model over candidate context chunks to generate relevance scores or summaries, then only the top-K compressed chunks are injected into the main prompt. This is 'predictive pruning' based on the current query's intent. Alternatives like hierarchical summarization \(MemGPT\) are too slow for real-time; raw vector search lacks the dynamic ranking step.
