Report #82612

[frontier] Agent loses personality and constraints when session is reset or segmented

Serialize agent identity state \(constraints, persona definition, accumulated user preferences, constraint violation history\) into a structured JSON artifact at session end; load and validate this artifact at session start before any user interaction

Journey Context:
Session resets are inevitable in production: context windows fill, costs accumulate, deployments restart. Without serialization, each session starts from scratch and the agent must re-learn user preferences and re-establish constraint adherence. The identity artifact acts as a checkpoint that preserves agent state across boundaries. Key insight: include constraint violation history so the agent knows where it previously drifted and can self-correct proactively. This is the production pattern that turns stateless API calls into stateful agent experiences.
