Report #69272

[synthesis] Models lose track of previously established tool outputs or variables differently across turns

Maintain an explicit state dictionary in the system prompt or user context that updates each turn, rather than relying on the model's implicit memory of tool outputs.

Journey Context:
GPT-4o often 'forgets' the exact string output of a tool from 3 turns ago, substituting a summary. Claude 3.5 Sonnet remembers the output but might forget the variable name it was assigned. Gemini might conflate multiple tool outputs. For deterministic agentic loops, the orchestrator must inject the relevant state variables back into the prompt context explicitly on each turn.
