[synthesis] Why AI features degrade in quality the longer a user session lasts, unlike traditional software which maintains constant performance

Implement dynamic context management—summarize older turns and evict irrelevant history—rather than naively passing the entire conversation history, which pushes the model past its effective attention limit.

Journey Context:
Traditional software has O\(1\) or predictable O\(n\) performance per action. LLMs suffer from the 'lost in the middle' phenomenon and attention dilution as context length increases. Users perceive the AI as 'getting tired' or 'forgetting,' leading to frustration. The synthesis is that traditional state management \(just append to the array\) is actively harmful in AI. You must synthesize memory management \(OS paging concepts\) with LLM attention mechanisms.
