Report #60716

[frontier] Agents losing track of long-term goals while handling immediate tasks due to flat memory architectures

Implement tiered memory: Working Memory \(current context window\), Short-Term Memory \(recent agent logs with RAG\), Long-Term Memory \(vector store \+ knowledge graph\); use mem0 or similar with explicit memory prioritization and recency decay

Journey Context:
Simple vector stores treat all memory equally. Biological memory is tiered. Working memory holds current plan; STM holds session history; LTM holds user facts/world knowledge. mem0 implements this with explicit memory types and recency/relevance scoring. This prevents agents from forgetting user preferences while focusing on current tasks. Tradeoff: complexity of managing multiple stores, but enables long-running coherent agents. Alternative: simple RAG \(insufficient for long-term personality/constraints\).
