Report #48772

[architecture] Injecting retrieved memories into the middle of the LLM context window where they are ignored

Place the highest-relevance retrieved memories at the very beginning or very end of the context window prompt.

Journey Context:
LLMs suffer from 'lost in the middle' degradation; they attend heavily to the start and end of the context, but ignore information in the middle. When injecting retrieved memories into the prompt, placing them in the middle of the system prompt or between other instruction blocks drastically reduces the agent's ability to utilize them, leading to hallucinations or ignored context.
