Report #81745

[frontier] Agent loses continuity when sessions are fragmented across context window chunks, treating new chunks as fresh starts

Implement 'Prologue Injection': prepend a compressed 'Memory Digest' \(containing identity state, key decisions, and active constraints from the previous chunk\) to the system prompt of every new chunk, formatted as a formal state transfer protocol rather than conversational history.

Journey Context:
Simple stateless chunking breaks narrative continuity because the model has no 'memory' of being in a session. Naive summarization loses the nuanced constraint status and identity anchoring. The fix treats session continuation as a formal state serialization problem, similar to process migration in distributed systems, where the 'Memory Digest' acts like a CPU context switch frame. This prevents the 'fresh start syndrome' where the agent re-introduces itself or re-asks clarification questions that were already resolved in previous chunks.
