Report #52652

[agent\_craft] Agent accumulates redundant or conflicting facts in its long-term memory over a long session

Implement a memory consolidation step: before saving a new fact, retrieve existing facts, and use the LLM to merge/update/deduplicate, saving a single updated state rather than appending a new entry.

Journey Context:
Naive append-only memory leads to context bloat and conflicting instructions \(e.g., 'use port 8080' then later 'use port 3000'\). Consolidation ensures the memory acts as a consistent state machine rather than a noisy log. Tradeoff: costs an LLM call per memory update, but saves tokens and prevents contradictory behavior later.
