Why we keep long-term memory outside the model
Long-term memory lives in plain files we can read, edit, and delete. It is not the most elegant choice. It is the one whose mistakes we can actually fix.
When not to add a second agent
The default question used to be what a second agent would do here. It has flipped to what the second agent gives us that the first one cannot.
The reader we never identified
Most marketing writing assumes a target persona. Ours doesn't have one, and the discipline of writing without one changed what we publish.

An agent that remembered everything got worse over time. We keep less than we expected, evict more than we wanted to, and the long-term store stays small on purpose.
