Report #71152

[frontier] Agent forgets the specific coding style or architectural pattern established in turn 5 by turn 40

Use Rolling Few-Shot Anchoring: maintain a dynamic buffer of the 3 most recent, high-quality code snippets generated in the session, and inject them as implicit examples in the system reminder.

Journey Context:
Style drift occurs because the model's attention shifts from early examples to the immediate problem context. Static examples in the system prompt become stale. By dynamically curating a rolling buffer of the agent's own successful outputs from the current session, you create a self-reinforcing style loop that adapts to the session's established norms without manual intervention.
