Report #95527

[frontier] How do I prevent important context from being lost when hitting token limits during long agent loops?

Implement dynamic semantic windowing: use embedding-based similarity to identify semantic boundaries, then compress or prune at natural transition points rather than fixed token offsets, preserving coherence.

Journey Context:
Naive truncation cuts mid-sentence or mid-thought, causing agents to lose critical state. Fixed chunking often splits related concepts. Simple summarization loses nuance. The alternative is 'hierarchical compression' which is expensive. Dynamic semantic windowing calculates embedding similarity between token spans to find 'semantic cliffs' where topic shifts occur, allowing clean breaks. This preserves the 'narrative arc' of the session while fitting the window.
