Report #71509

[architecture] Saving the entire unrolled conversation history as the cross-session state, leading to massive bloat and exceeding context limits on the next session load

Serialize a compressed summary state \(current goals, key entities, recent actions\) at the end of a session, rather than the raw message array. Reload this summary as the new session's system context.

Journey Context:
To persist an agent across sessions, developers often serialize the messages array to a database. Over multiple sessions, this array grows unbounded. When loaded, it either truncates \(losing early context\) or exceeds the context window. The tradeoff is exact fidelity vs. state manageability. Summarizing the state at session boundaries \(a process akin to human sleep consolidation\) loses granular turn-by-turn data but preserves the agent's operational continuity within a fixed token budget.
