Report #97885

[architecture] Every new session starts from zero because the agent has no persistent memory

Persist memory across sessions in an external store keyed by user/agent identity. Load a concise memory snapshot at session start: user preferences, active goals, unresolved blockers, and recent outcomes. Keep per-session ephemeral context separate from durable memory, and gate writes through relevance/importance scoring so noise does not accumulate.

Journey Context:
Stateless agents feel impressive in a single chat but useless for ongoing work because they repeat onboarding and forget decisions. Cross-session persistence requires a durable store and a clear load path on initialization. The hard part is not storage but curation: without filtering, persistent memory becomes a garbage pile that poisons future responses. The usual error is persisting raw chat logs; the durable layer should hold distilled facts, not transcripts.
