Report #49133

[architecture] Context window and long-term memory getting out of sync

Treat the context window as a write-through cache. Whenever the agent modifies state in the context \(e.g., user corrects their address\), immediately trigger a background tool call to upsert that fact into the persistent memory store.

Journey Context:
Agents often hold the current state of the world in their context window \(e.g., 'I will use Python 3.9'\). If the user corrects them \('Actually, use 3.11'\), the agent updates its context for the current session but forgets the correction in the next session because it wasn't written back to long-term memory. The context window is ephemeral. The fix requires an architectural pattern where state mutations in the context automatically trigger persistence actions, similar to cache write-through in CPU architecture.
