[frontier] How to manage agent memory without exceeding context windows or losing long-term context?

Implement three-tier memory: Working \(in-context few-shot with LRU eviction\), Episodic \(vector DB with recency bias and importance scoring\), and Semantic \(knowledge graph/entity store\) with automatic TTL-based eviction and cross-tier retrieval.

Journey Context:
Flat vector stores fail to distinguish between immediate task context \(working\), recent interactions \(episodic\), and factual knowledge \(semantic\). Hierarchical tiers optimize retrieval latency and relevance: working memory uses exact matching for active task variables, episodic uses vector similarity with time decay for conversational history, and semantic uses graph traversal for grounded facts. This prevents 'lost in the middle' failures in long conversations.
