Report #49753
[synthesis] Context Window Eviction Causes Schema Drift in Long Runs
Statelessly inject critical schemas and system constraints into the system prompt or tool description of every subsequent turn, rather than relying on the initial context.
Journey Context:
As context length grows, models lose fidelity on early tokens. When initial DB schemas or API specs are evicted, the agent doesn't just forget; it confidently invents a plausible schema that fits its current local context. This causes silent data corruption or migration failures later. The synthesis of context window attention decay and database migration strictness shows that agents must treat early constraints as immutable state to be re-injected, not just history to be recalled.
