Report #99806

[agent\_craft] A flat conversation history cannot remember facts beyond the context window or across sessions.

Implement a memory hierarchy: read-only system instructions, a small writable working context for key facts, a FIFO message queue for recent turns, and an external vector store for long-term memory. Expose functions that let the agent retrieve from external memory or write/update working context.

Journey Context:
MemGPT frames the context window as physical RAM and external storage as disk. The agent uses function calls to page information in and out. This is especially useful for coding agents that need to remember user preferences, project conventions, or bug history across sessions without bloating every prompt.
