Report #79919

[frontier] Agent retains tool-use skills but loses behavioral constraints after context compression

Implement bifurcated memory architecture: maintain separate vector stores for 'capabilities' \(tools, APIs, schemas\) and 'constraints' \(personality, safety, formatting rules\) with different retrieval priorities and decay schedules

Journey Context:
Standard RAG treats all memory equally. Capability memory is factual and compresses well; constraint memory is contextual and fragile. When agents compress context, they preserve 'how to call API' but lose 'never expose API keys'. Bifurcated memory uses aggressive re-injection for constraints and lazy loading for capabilities.
