Report #54491

[architecture] Agent assumes context from previous session is still in context window

Bootstrap new sessions by explicitly querying the memory store for a summary of the user/entity state, and inject it as system context, rather than assuming the LLM remembers.

Journey Context:
LLMs are stateless. A common bug is an agent saying 'As we discussed earlier...' without actually retrieving the prior context, leading to hallucinations. The fix is a 'memory-first' initialization step: before taking any user action, retrieve the relevant entity's core memory. Tradeoff: consumes context tokens at the start of every session, but guarantees grounding and prevents the agent from inventing past interactions.
