Report #67877

[frontier] Why does my agent lose track of long-term context across interruptions and tool calls?

Replace naive RAG with LangGraph's Semantic Memory threads that store key-value facts with semantic search and automatic summarization across checkpoints.

Journey Context:
RAG treats memory as a document retrieval problem, but conversational agents need 'working memory' that survives interrupts \(errors, human-in-the-loop, long tool executions\). LangGraph's 2025 Memory feature introduces thread-scoped stores: key-value pairs with vector search, plus automatic TTL \(time-to-live\) and summarization when memory exceeds token budgets. This lets agents recall facts from 50 turns ago without stuffing the full history. The tradeoff is schema design complexity—you must define what deserves long-term storage vs. ephemeral context.
