Report #73492

[frontier] Agent context window overflows or loses track of long-term goals in extended sessions

Implement explicit memory tiers: working context \(LLM window\), episodic recall \(recent events\), and archival storage, with dedicated LLM calls to manage memory movement between tiers

Journey Context:
Naive RAG dumps documents into a vector DB. Production agents \(Letta/MemGPT\) treat memory management as a first-class concern with a 'memory agent' that decides what to keep in the limited working context vs. archive vs. recall. This is distinct from simple summarization; it involves explicit memory editing operations \(insert, delete, update\) on the agent's own memory store, with the LLM itself deciding when to compress or retrieve.
