[frontier] Linear periodic re-prompting causes either too-frequent token waste or constraint decay during long intervals

Schedule constraint re-injection at geometric intervals \(turns 1, 2, 4, 8, 16...\) using compressed 'identity checksums' \(blake3 hashes of original constraints\) rather than full prompt repetition, retrieved from prompt cache

Journey Context:
Instruction decay follows a power law - recent constraints are stable but old ones fade rapidly. Geometric scheduling \(exponential backoff in reverse\) matches this decay curve. Using cryptographic checksums rather than full text preserves context window while triggering retrieval from prompt caching systems. This mimics 'spaced repetition' algorithms used in human learning but optimized for transformer attention mechanisms. Requires infrastructure support for prompt caching to be cost-effective.
