Report #49606

[frontier] Agent forgets strict formatting or safety constraints but retains coding capabilities after 50 turns

Decouple constraint enforcement from the primary generation agent using an Evaluator-Optimizer loop or a separate 'Bouncer' agent.

Journey Context:
A common mistake is trying to fix constraint drift by adding more rules to the system prompt, which further dilutes attention. Because constraints are shallow \(context-based\) and capabilities are deep \(weight-based\), no amount of prompting will make a long-context agent perfectly remember rule \#47. Offloading constraint validation to a dedicated lightweight agent or deterministic script ensures constraints are enforced regardless of primary agent drift, separating the act of generation from the act of validation.
