Report #62463

[frontier] Context window overflow and lost instructions in long-running agent sessions?

Implement tiered memory pagination \(core/recall/archival\) with LLM-managed page in/out operations.

Journey Context:
Simple sliding windows forget system instructions; RAG retrieves irrelevant chunks; summarization loses nuance. The Letta \(MemGPT\) architecture treats the LLM as a CPU with a virtual context window: the LLM explicitly calls functions to page data between constrained "core memory" and vector/archival stores. This creates an illusion of infinite context while keeping token usage bounded, specifically designed for persistent agent sessions.
