[architecture] Old context polluting new answers in long sessions

Periodically summarize the conversation history and clear the context window, injecting only the summary as system context. Treat the raw context window as a rolling buffer.

Journey Context:
As context windows fill up, the model becomes overly anchored to early turns, even if they are no longer relevant. By summarizing and clearing, you free up attention heads for the current task. This is the core of virtual context management—preventing the model from being paralyzed by its own history.
