Report #80573

[frontier] Agent treats a temporary user tangent as a permanent new rule, overwriting original instructions

Implement semantic 'Context Scoping Tags' \(e.g., ...\) and a context manager that strips these tags during context rolling/summarization.

Journey Context:
LLMs struggle to differentiate between permanent rules and temporary exceptions. If you just say 'for this one task, do X', the model carries X forward due to recency bias. Explicit semantic tagging allows the context management layer to programmatically prune tangents, preserving the core context budget and preventing tangent amnesia.
