Report #52973

[frontier] In long agent chains with interleaved images, the context window fills with images early, preventing the agent from completing the task due to token limits

Implement dynamic visual memory offloading: convert old images to structured text descriptions \(with spatial metadata\) once they exceed N steps old, keeping only recent screenshots as pixels

Journey Context:
Multi-modal agents processing long trajectories \(e.g., 'fix this bug' requiring 50 steps\) hit context limits because each screenshot is ~1000\+ tokens. Common mistake is FIFO eviction which loses critical historical visual state. Dynamic offloading preserves semantic content \(what was on screen\) in compact text form while retaining pixel precision for recent steps. Balances context window constraints with historical accuracy.
