    A system that attempts to make an agent stateful across sessions. Persists information into the environment during a session and reloads it into the context window at the start of future ones, so the agent carries continuity beyond the user clearing the session.

    Usage:

    "I keep having to re-tell it I'm on Postgres, not MySQL."

    "Wire up a memory system — write what it learns to the filesystem on the first turn, reload it at session start. The model itself is stateless; the memory layer fakes continuity."
