Report #68188

[architecture] Trying to fit all conversation history into the LLM context window

Implement hierarchical memory \(core, archival, recall\) and use the LLM itself to manage page faults, explicitly swapping data between context and vector store via function calls.

Journey Context:
Naive agents truncate history or stuff everything. Truncation loses early context; stuffing hits token limits and degrades performance. Treating the context window as RAM and the vector DB as disk allows the agent to handle infinite context by deliberately moving data in and out of the working context.
