Report #77273

[agent\_craft] Agent losing project context across multiple sessions or tasks

Write a structured 'handoff document' \(current state, pending issues, architectural decisions\) to the filesystem at the end of a session, and load it as the first step of the next session.

Journey Context:
Agents often start from scratch in a new session because the context window is empty. Vector DB long-term memory is often too fuzzy for strict code state. Writing a markdown file to the project root provides a deterministic, high-signal context seed for the next session, bridging the gap without needing complex vector retrieval or suffering from embedding drift.
