Long-running AI agents often experience "Agentic Amnesia," losing their train of thought over extended execution windows. This failure occurs because standard frameworks rely on naive context truncation and lossy LLM-driven summaries that delete critical historical details. We address this bottleneck by decoupling memory from the active model context window and implementing a Tri-Tier Memory Architecture. By isolating ephemeral working scratchpads from immutable event ledgers and structured state graphs, we eliminate context drift and enable agents to process long, complex tasks with total consistency.
